How to fix Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'
Apparently, OS X Tiger doesn't allow for PHP MySQL connection out of the box. You get this:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'
I found the most clear fix here:
/etc/php.ini(.default) looks for mysql.sock in the wrong place... two options are to make a symbolic link from the right place to the socket...

sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo ln -s /private/tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Or you can update your php.ini (.default) by finding "mysql.default_socket" and setting it to equal /private/tmp/mysql.sock and then restart apache with "apachectl graceful"
