[PHP-DB] MYSQL_SOCkET vs. mysql.default_socket
Hello, phpinfo shows two values for the socket location of mysql. One is called MYSQL_SOCKET, the other one, which I can define in the php.ini, is called mysql.default_socket. Now I wonder where the first comes from and where or how to manipulate this. And what is the difference, which one has precedence? Why are there two settings at all?

This might only look for socket files in standard locations. If mysql.default_socket is specified, that is used instead of MYSQL_SOCKET (eg the socket file is in a non-standard path like /usr/local/mysql/ or something). -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
