 According to documentation (https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-
 config.php) this should work:
 define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost:3307' );

 But instead, the port section is ignored and default mysql port is used.

 But if I do:
 define( 'DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1:3307' );

 Then it works and connects to 3307.

 I've checked with two different systems, with the last WP version
 (English).
