Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Sockets related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.2.12
New Comment:
This has got nothing to do with IPV6 addresses as my hosts file does
not contain anf IPV6 addresses. All it has is as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Every other piece of software on my PC uses 'loalhost' without a
problem, so should fsockopen in PHP. Curl can manage it, so why not
fsockopen.
I have the same setup on another PC which runs Windows XP with IPV6
support and PHP 5.3.0, and it does not have a problem with 'localhost',
so this is a genuine bug in 5.2
Do not keep telling me that you have already addressed this issue in
other posts because you have not. You nhave suggested removing any IPV6
entries from the hosts file, which I have done, but this does not fix
the problem.
If gethostbyname() can work with 'localhost' then why can't
fsockopen()?

It works just fine here using localhost and ipv4.
You are clearly experiencing the IPv6 problem described in a good dozen
bugs here (with solutions).
I'm sorry if it is not acceptable but we can't do anything about that,
see the other reports for a complete and detailed explanation.

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.)

> Did you install IPv6 support for XP?
Yes.
> Comment out the IPv6 entries for localhost
Of course not! (PHP is not the center of the universe and i need a
working IPv6)
> (see the other bogus reports for detailed explanations
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.
