PHP application aware of sockets are few, most of them will try to connect to a port, you will have to find a way to define the one you want to use for your particular app. Some let you put it in a variable, some will just need you to add it after the hostname or ip (localhost:3307), some will just assume 3306 and just ignore anything else.

By default mysql55 uses a socket for connections.

Possible host strings (localhost can be replaced with 127.0.0.1 if needed):

Depending on your application syntax the socket can be found at like this (localhost can be replaced with 127.0.0.1 if needed):
PHP applications that are aware of sockets are few, and most of them will try to connect to a port. To enable mysql55 to use a port you will need to do the following:
+
+
config setprop mysq55-mysql LocalNetworkingOnly no
+
signal-event post-upgrade;signal-event reboot
+
+
mysq55 should now be listening on port 3307. you can check this using netstat:
+
+
netstat -atn |grep 3307
