[nflug] PHP - MySQL connect via socket

[Mark Musone]

Do you mean connect via "Unix Socket" instead of "TCP Socket" ?

If so, yes, there's a bit of a performance increase, less latency with
initiating a connection, and significantly more security.

That being said, I generally only use TCP sockets purely because of ease of
use, and portability..

Guys,

I was wondering if I have a machine which is running the lamp stack on
it, will it provide any performance boost to connect to mysql via
socket (compared to feeding the function the full address)?
