note 61391 rejected from ref.pdo-mysql.connection by nlopess

Note Submitter: info at netangels dot ru ---- Guys i think you lost an important thing when doing this extension. For mysql.so I could put path to the default mysql socket in php.ini (mysql.default_socket) and then just use mysql_connect("localhost", ...) to connect to mysql server via this socket. It was fine because php ignores my.cnf files that are used by mysql clients. PDO extension completelly ignores this parameter in php.ini and tries to connect to compiled in unix socket when I use PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=...',...). I think this is wrong because scripts can't be portable to another host/OS without changing path anymore. Please keep an eye on it.
