print_r(gethostbynamel('localhost')); produces the following:
Array
(
[0] => 127.0.0.1
)

There is no special-case code in PHP for localhost.
Try: print_r(gethostbynamel('localhost'));

I have checked my hosts file, and it only contains the following entry
for 'localhost':
127.0.0.1 localhost
I have rebooted my PC to clear any cache, but the error is still there.
The name 'localhost' works in all the browsers that I use - IE, Firefox,
Opera and Safari - so it should work with fsockopen. It works with names
I use for other PCs in my home network.
I have another PC running Windows XP with IPV6 enabled and PHP 5.3.0,
and fsockopen doesn't have a problem using 'localhost' there.

If 127.0.0.1 works and your name lookup system correctly returns
127.0.0.1 for localhost, then localhost has to work. If it isn't
working it is because the lookup isn't returning the correct ipv4 ip.
You may have removed it from your hosts file, but perhaps the old
answer is cached somewhere. Try restarting things after changing your
hosts file.

I did respond in the original bug, but you closed it before finding out
if your suggestion about removing the IPV6 entries from my hosts file
actually worked. I put in a reply saying that it hadn't worked, but you
never re-opened the bug. I assumed that as you had closed it that you
were refusing to answer any more queries about it.
