I am using PHP Version 5.0.1, MySQL 5.0.1-alpha-nt, and Apache/2.0.48 with Windows XP with SP2. When I use mysql_connect in a php page in Apache to connect to the "localhost" I get: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect.chm]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) I get that when the firewall does not allow Apache and MySQL to access the internet. When I do allow Apache to access the internet, mysql_connect with the same parameters works. Is that waht is supposed to happen? I assume this is a PHP problem but I can't be sure it is, so I apologize if it is not. I realize that I have not provided much information. If access to the internet is normal when the server and client are in the same system, then I won't spend much more time on this. If however it sounds like a bug, then I will gather as much information that I can and submit a bug report.
