It is not a bug, update your php.ini

As said, there is no php.ini loaded (AFAIK). There is no php.ini at the path phpinfo() shows.

or use: PDO("mysql:dbname=test;unix_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock");

I know that, but what I would like to know is why PDO_MYSQL does not connect to the MySQL-Server using TCP/IP (localhost:3306), as I specified, but instead uses a socket-adress which seems to be compiled into the mysql library. best regards Andreas
