Hi, Could mysqli users confirm the behavior I mention? I think this should be cleared up before 2.6.0-rc1. Thanks, Marc Marc Delisle wrote:

Hi all,

With older mysql extension, when I wanted to connect to localhost, I was using host = localhost connect_type = tcp

and it made a socket connection. That's why the "tcp" default worked most of the time.

Now with mysqli, it no longer works: I have to tell "socket" in connect_type.

Please confirm this behavior.

Also, looking at the php manual for both mysql and mysqli, I wonder if we should keep the connect_type parameter.
