No.
"localhost" to MySQL is not a network socket that you can telnet to. It
is an OS socket (or equivelent). "Localhost" would be a network socket,
but that's *not* what the OP asked about.
Which is why this may belong on a MySQL group, or may belong on a group
for whatever webserver is running, but the odds of it being an actual
PHP problem are very, very slim.
