Description: ------------ Hi I run DB 1.6.4 with mysqli driver. If I dont supply socket the connection fails. Is this normal behaviour? I need to connect with 'socket' => '/tmp/mysql.sock' in the dsn array to get it to work. It seems if you supply any value for the 6th parameter as you do in the driver it must be correct and not false/null. mysqli_connect ( [string host [, string username [, string passwd [, string dbname [, int port [, string socket]]]]]])

require('DB.php'); $conn = new mysqli("localhost", "uname", "pword", "dbase"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } printf("Host information: %s\n", $conn->host_info); $conn->close(); $conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "uname", "pword", "dbase"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } printf("Host information: %s\n", $conn->host_info); $conn->close(); $link = mysqli_init(); mysqli_real_connect($link, 'localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world'); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } printf ("Connection: %s\n.", mysqli_get_host_info($link)); mysqli_close($link); $dsn = array( 'phptype' => 'mysqli', 'username' => 'uname', 'password' => 'pword', 'hostspec' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'dbase', 'socket' => '/tmp/mysql.sock', ); $dsn2 = array( 'phptype' => 'mysqli', 'username' => 'uname', 'password' => 'pword', 'hostspec' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'dbase', ); $conn = DB::connect($dsn);works fine $conn = DB::connect($dsn2); print_r($conn); // DB_Error object Host information: Localhost via UNIX socket Host information: Localhost via UNIX socket Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket.
