I’m just in the middle of my very first CakePHP implementation. I was trying to figure out how to pass the socket to the CakePHP because I’m running MAMP and the MySQL socket is a somewhat non-standard ‘/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock’.
Turns out that PHP’s mysql_connect function accepts either a socket or a port interchangeably.
So I used this in my CakePHP database configuration file:
‘port’ => ‘/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock’
CakePHP is a Ruby On Rails clone written in PHP. This far it’s promising, but naturally it has PHP in it which I happen to dislike.
