Are you 100% sure your mysql server is running on your local box?
Are you sure your are using the right port?
If it's none of these then it could be that the mysql.sock file is in a 
non-standard place on the machine (on a server I recently used it was 
in /tmp/mysql.sock). To get over this find out where it is (find / -
name "mysql.sock" -type f) and then pass this in the (p)connect 
function:
mysql_pconnect(hostname:port:/path/to/mysql.sock, username, password);
