Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Sockets related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.2.12
New Comment:
THIS IS NOT BOGUS, IT IS A GENUINE BUG!!!
If print_r(gethostbynamel('localhost')); produces the following:
Array
(
[0] => 127.0.0.1
)
then why can't fsockopen connect to 'localhost'? It is a valid name
which is recognised by every other piece of software on my computer, so
there is no good reason why fsockopen should have a problem with it.
I have another PC which runs 5.3.0 where fsockopen does not have a
problem with 'localhost', therefore there is a bug in 5.2

Already explained why it can't and won't be fixed in 5.2, neither in
5.3. Use the IP then instead of the hostname. Bogus (duplicated, not
really a bug per se but a feature,etc.)

Yes.

Of course not! (PHP is not the center of the universe and i need a
working IPv6)

Don't you think it's better to fix the bug in the streams code?
(Already explained in an other bug report about mysqlnd)
BTW (regarding the above quirk):
- for XP it's also a good idea to verify that there is a entry for IPv4
in the HOSTS file (or just deinstall IPv6)
- and that's not working for e.g. Windows 7.

I have tried that, but it still doesn't work.

Comment out the IPv6 entries for localhost (see the other bogus reports
for detailed explanations).
