Re: mysql_connect using version 5.0.1 accesses the internet when host and client are the same system

First let me say that I would not have reacted as strongly if it were not true that I get so many negative reactions when I just try to help. You have not seen those others so if you want to assume they are justified then we can simply disagree. However I sure feel as if people are much too quick to be negative. I reacted to the comment "I am not sure why you assume". If another way of saying what you meant is that you think it is not a PHP problem, then just saying that you think it is not a PHP problem says what you are thinking and is not negative.
