Maybe his mysql.sock file isn't in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock?
Mine is /tmp/mysql.sock

Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP installed - MySql Server can't connect
This happens when the mysql server you are running is different from the
version of the mysql library php was linked against. If you compiled
php using "--with-mysql" you get the mysql client library that comes
bundled with PHP which may not match your mysql server and thus may look
for the mysql.sock file in the wrong place.
To fix this, either figure out where your mysql.sock file is and specify
it directly in your mysql_connect() call (see
http://php.net/mysql_connect) or recompile PHP against your system's
mysql client library by using "--with-mysql=/usr" assuming your mysql
client library is in /usr/lib/mysqlclient.*
