The obvious (?) > mysql://user@localhost:/path/to/mysqld.sock/database does not work. oops. I should not write mails, when i'm really toooo tired. the question was asked here a few days ago and there was no answer :( maybe then we should implement it. so, here a little discussion. normal way of calling the dsn is mysql://user@localhost:port/database the socket way like in mysql_connect would be: mysql://user@localhost:/path/to/mysqld.sock/database but then. $parsed['database'] is "path/to/mysqld.sock/database" if we rewrite parseDSN to just take the name after the last / as the database and everything before for the port/socker stuff (if there's a colon), are we getting problems with other possibilities of the dsn in other rdbms or would this a safe way to do? chregu
