ID: 51079 Updated by: cataphr...@php.net 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 Block user comment: N New Comment: Oops I hadn't noticed this bug existed and modified #50953 instead. Sorry. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-25 17:57:19] galatmc at gmail dot com One small note, if this is of any help. First, I am new to PHP, and ran into this same issue with PHPMyAdmin and Drupal. I am on Windows 7 x64, and found some info on another site. However, In my case, I was having an issue with Drupal trying to check http://family-hp/ (my computer name). At the time, my hosts file (c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts) contained: 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost When I ran the script, I received: called connect('family-hp') faultcode=10060, faultstring=A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. called connect('localhost') faultcode=10060, faultstring=A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. called connect('127.0.0.1') Connected to 127.0.0.1 OK called connect('www.tonymarston.net') Connected to www.tonymarston.net OK (note: I added a piece of code to indicate how 'connect' was called.) I made the following changes to hosts: 1. Added a line for family-hp (not sure why I need this, since IE has no problem resolving my computer name!). 2. Based on information I found on another site, I commented out the IPv6 loopback. New hosts file: 127.0.0.1 family-hp 127.0.0.1 localhost #::1 localhost Rerun of script: called connect('family-hp') Connected to family-hp OK called connect('localhost') Connected to localhost OK called connect('127.0.0.1') Connected to 127.0.0.1 OK called connect('www.tonymarston.net') Connected to www.tonymarston.net OK So, if you give hosts a single choice of IPv4 loopback, and no IPv6 loopback, it works!

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
