[Forum] PHP 5.5 and mysql socket support

[Boothby]

A member of vBG who switched from PHP 5.4 to 5.5 reported this error:

Database error in vBulletin :

mysqli_real_connect() expects parameter 6 to be long, string given /xxx/includes/class_core.php on line 1359

This line refers to mysqli_real_connect() and parameter 6 is the port.

bool mysqli_real_connect ( mysqli $link [, string $host [, string $username [, string $passwd [, string $dbname [, int $port [, string $socket [, int $flags ]]]]]]] )

This is what he has in his config.php

$config['MasterServer']['port'] ='/tmp/mysql5.sock'; 

His hoster seems to be 1&1.

I asked him to change the line 1359 to:

$connect = $this->functions['connect']($link, $servername,  $username, $password, '', null, '/tmp/mysql5.sock'); 

That fixed the problem, but it is only a temporarily solution. It would help if you could add support for connections to database server via socket.

Hi Boot

It works better than php 5.4 or not.

I don't know. It was a fix for an other user at vBulletin Germany.
