[PHP] why this code needs mysql.sock instead of mysqld.sock

[ann kok]

Hi all
 
 
?php
$link=mysql_connect('localhost','usrname','password');
if(!$link) echo fail;
else echo success;
mysql_close();
?
 
Thank you

The location of the socket is compiled into the mysql lib. I believe  
it can be changed from php.ini - check the manual for details. If not  
then your easiest option is to create a symlink, or alternatively  
recompile the extension.
