Is this pdo bug fixed now?

Question

Note that you can specify a port number with "port=####", but this port number will be ignored if the host is localhost. If you want to connect to a local port other than the default, use host=127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

Quoted from this page,has anyone verified if it has been fixed?

Answer 1

That isn't a bug. That is how MySQL is designed. When the host is "localhost", MySQL Unix clients use a Unix socket, AKA Unix Domain Socket, rather than a TCP/IP socket for the connection, thus the TCP port doesn't matter.
