This is a very common problem. It is documented in the manual and also in
other places as Edna has already mentioned. Your php code has nothing to do
with the cause of the problem.
Basics:
1. Your server isn't running
2. Your paths to the socket file are incorrect. (Check php and mysql
settings)
3. Permissions are incorrect.
