ID: 51079 Comment by: anders at ingemann dot de Reported by: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Summary: fsockopen will not work on 'localhost' Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Sockets related Operating System: win32 only - Windows XP PHP Version: 5.2.12 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: I can confirm this on Vista x86 with the precompiled 5.3.2 VC6 ts Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-28 00:03:32] jbphp at jlb dot nu We recently upgraded to PHP 5.3.2 and can replicate this problem under Windows 7 x64. Luckily the workaround of using '127.0.0.1' in the fsockopen address instead of 'localhost' is relatively easy but it broke a large volume of our existing code. Very annoying. Please fix this asap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-13 20:26:19] dontwantanyspam at mailinator dot com Forgot to mention my operating system. Windows 7 x64. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-13 20:22:24] dontwantanyspam at mailinator dot com I can also confirm that this problem isn't there in PHP 5.3.0. Its there since 5.3.1. Unlike PHP 5.3.0, a 64 bit version of PHP 5.3.1 wasn't available at http://windows.php.net/qa/, so I tried compiling it myself. After compiling I noticed that a script that uses file_get_contents("http://localhost/...";) wouldn't work until I change the "localhost" to "127.0.0.1". I didn't care about it much at that time since it seemed like a small problem. But then I noticed that none of the scripts that used mysql were working. I even tried to log in to phpMyAdmin and even that didn't work (same problem described by thijsputman). So I thought that it was probably a bug with the 64 bit binary and continued using PHP 5.3.0. But after PHP 5.3.2 was released, I tried compiling it also and noticed that the problem was still there. Thinking that it may be related to mysqlnd since the version used by PHP 5.3.0 is 5.0.5-dev and the one used by PHP 5.3.2 is 5.0.7- dev, I tried compiling the mysql, mysqli and pdo mysql extensions with libmysql. I has success with the mysql extension only. The mysqli and pdo mysql extension failed to compile with libmysql (there were a lot of build errors). Anyway, I tried the mysql extension compiled with libmysql and noticed that it was working fine! But I needed the mysqli extension to work also and since it failed to compile with libmysql, I messed around some more and finally realized that it was the same problem as with the file_get_contents. So I tried changing all the "localhost" references to "127.0.0.1" and it worked! Anyway, for whatever reason the mysql extension compiled with libmysql works fine with "localhost" but the one compiled with mysqlnd doesn't. So, I hope this helps you to find and squish the bug thats causing this. :D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-10 12:31:15] thijsputman at gmail dot com Fair enough :) The reproduce code provided fails to connect to "localhost" with fsockopen() in PHP 5.3.2. When using PHP 5.3.0 fsockopen() connects to "localhost" without problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-10 12:03:59] paj...@php.net It does not depend on PHP only but libmysql or mysql server. Please keep posting about the socket issue only here as the myslq&IPv6 questions have been covered numerous times in other reports. The one report per issue rule is also a good way to do not get distracted, thanks for your understanding :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
