Are you looking for a non-zero return from socket or a negative return
from socket? The function has pretty much the same semantics as the
socket(2) system call, except for the return value is the opposite of the
errno value.

Try code that looks like:

$fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if ($fd < 0) { // socket() *can* return 0.
        print "Call to socket() failed: reason: " . strerror($fd) . "\n";
        exit;
}
