 > I'm using Zend Server (in my Dev environment) and this ticket broke the
 database connection (`"Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): [2002] No such file
 or directory (trying to connect via unix:///tmp/mysql.sock)"`).

 What version of Zend Server are you using to get this error message?

 > Please allow plugins to check if wpdb uses mysqli or mysql

 You should be able to check this with `$wpdb->use_mysqli`. Is this not the
 case for you?
