Just got a heads up about a bug with PHP 5.3 and windows.

I don’t actually use windows but on the off chance that I might in the future for some reason I thought I would make a note of the solution here.

The problem can be spotted by getting this error message:

PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): ```2002 A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in xxx.php on line 2 PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): 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. in xxx.php on line 2

The solution is this:

Edit your hosts file and comment out the Ipv6 line

[code]#::1 localhost ```
