Confirmed. PHP 5.3.22 compiled with mysqlnd enabled both on mysql and mysqli (
and even on pdo). 127.0.0.1 works, localhost doesn't.

Athon!
Thank you very much for bringing this BUG out!
I killed 1-2 hours of my time trying to understand why I can't connect to the
server.
Then I found this bug report and changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 and it worked!
This is one of the most annoying and frustrating bugs ever. It must be fixed!
For search engines, here is the error I got:
Warning: mysqli_real_connect() ... [2002] ... connection refused. (trying to
connect via tcp://localhost:3306)
Warning: mysqli_real_connect() ... (HY000/2002) ... connection refused. (trying
to connect via tcp://localhost:3306)

I agree with anthon.
Someone has to fix this :)

This doesn't have anything to do with the hosts file or DNS resolution.
mysqlnd (rightly or wrongly) specially interprets "localhost" to mean a local
socket, to mimic some of the behavior of MySQL command-line utilities.

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Its disabled :)
Still no result hmm.
I blame Microsoft for this. lol

There are dozen of reports about that on Windows and it is unrelated to this
problem.
A work around for the windows issue will be present in 5.3.4, in the meantime
you can disable ::1 in your windows' host file.
