PHP cannot connect to MySql server on Windows 7

If you're struggling to get your php application to connect to a MySql server running on localhost, while you still can confirm the MySql daemon is up and running (by using mysqladmin), you might want to try connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, because that mapping seems to be removed in Windows 7 .
