Hi,
Finally got this sorted.
Took a more methodical debugging attitude to this and reduced the
mysql.connect_timeout to 5 seconds.
Started to get error messages at last - so the mysql_connect function
that wasn't failing altogether.
Quickly determined that on Vista SP1, PHP5.3 can't resolve localhost
to 127.0.0.1 in the mysql_connect function.
Stopping Apache, pointing LoadModule php5_module ... and PHPIniDir ...
back to 5.2.x then restarting Apache allows the mysql_connect function
to work again (as expected).
This is using a stock hosts file on Windoze, which is correctly set up
for localhost.
I'm not sure where the bug is but could it possibly be something to do
with IPv6? Does PHP5.3's new mysqlnd default to using IPv6 first which
then isn't resolving properly to 127.0.0.1? I only ask that as 5.2.6
works perfectly on the same machine(s) and the only difference I can see
is the use of mysqlnd.
I could be barking up the wrong tree altogether though, but I can
confirm that PHP5.3.x can't resolve localhost when connecting to MySQL
on Vista whereas it can on XP and 5.2.6 never has any troubles on the
same machines (without any reboots).
Also, FYI, hadn't tried this procedure before because command line
commands to mysql work using localhost as well as 127.0.0.1 (as
would be expected if Apache+PHP5.2.6 also worked) so it never occurred
that there could be problem resolving localhost.
At least I've got a solution for anyone out there... replace
localhost with 127.0.0.1 in your scripts... until anyone @php.net
can help us out with a fix/answer of course!
Thanks again Jani for the post, it at least encouraged me to try and
debug this more methodically and now I don't have to reboot into OSX or
XP or upload scripts to a Linux server to out the new namespace
functionality! :)
All the best..

Thanks for replying! I've disabled all the security checks as this is a
development machine so that can't be it. :(
I haven't come across a single person trying 5.3 (via Apache) and the
new MySQL extension out on a Vista machine.. can anyone please confirm
that they have it working?

Are you sure it's not some security feature in Vista that is blocking
the connections? I'd check firewall settings, etc.

Hi,
Has anyone taken a look at this?
I've managed to get PHP5.3 working fine with MySQL on Mac OS X, Linux
(RedHat 9 - old I know but anyway :) ) and Windoze XP but mysql_connect
times out on any Windoze Vista system.
If anyone has got 5.3 working with MySQL on Vista could they please
e-mail me to say so. If not, could this be looked at soon?
Thanks,
Conor

Description:
I've been trying the PHP 5.3.x snapshots out for the past two weeks on
three separate Vista systems and consistently got timeouts when a
mysql_connect function was encountered.
Tried rebooting into Windoze XP on one of the systems and installing on
it and everything worked perfectly straight away.
Tried everything I could on the Vista systems, removing all copies of
libmysql.dll from the system, changing the PATH, removing the path,
(restarting after all changes) but every time PHP the mysql_connect
function times out.
Are the snapshots tested on XP only? I've spent almost a full working
day over the past two weeks trying to get 5.3 running in my normal
environment so that I could start using the namespace functionality.
Sadly I now have no choice but to use XP anytime I need to run anything
I write as 5.3 clearly isn't compatible with the combination of Vista
and MySQL. :(
Any PHP script that doesn't use MySQL works fine on all three Vista
systems.
Reproduce code:
---
?php
print connecting...;
mysqli_connect('localhost:3307', 'root', '');
?
Expected result:
No errors. :)
Actual result:
