I have specifically told mySQL when I build it, to drop it's socket into something other than /tmp/mysql.sock. The system is configured to clean out /tmp once a week, and it'd be stupid to have the socket, or any persistent socket in there. PHP has no way of being told (on the COMMAND LINE) where the socket is. So, as Rasmus pointed out, one has to set it in the .ini file since it always defaults to /tmp/mysql.sock, for whatever reason.
