Old Operating System: FreeBSD 4.4
Operating System: Windows NT 4 sp 6a

the manual page is marked as "EXPERIMENTAL". so waiting for the extension to become stable wil be the best. fixing the example now just to change it again tomorrow is useless.

Making a documentation problem. Valid sample still have to be written.

Example code copy/pasted from http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/ref.sockets.html :

<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL);

echo "<h2>TCP/IP Connection</h2>\n";

/* Get the port for the WWW service. */
$service_port = getservbyname ('www', 'tcp');

/* Get the IP address for the target host. */
$address = gethostbyname ('www.php.net');

/* Create a TCP/IP socket. */
$socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if ($socket < 0) {
    echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror ($socket) . "\n";
} else {
    "socket_create() successful: " . socket_strerror ($socket) . "\n";
}

echo "Attempting to connect to '$address' on port '$service_port'...";
$result = socket_connect ($socket, $address, $service_port);
if ($result < 0) {
    echo "socket_connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " . socket_strerror($result) . "\n";
} else {
    echo "OK.\n";
}

$in = "HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n";
$out = '';

echo "Sending HTTP HEAD request...";
socket_write ($socket, $in, strlen ($in));
echo "OK.\n";

echo "Reading response:\n\n";
while (socket_read ($socket, $out, 2048)) {
    echo $out;
}

echo "Closing socket...";
socket_close ($socket);
echo "OK.\n\n";
?>

When run :

<h2>TCP/IP Connection</h2>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>: socket_strerror() expects parameter 1 to be long, resource given in <b>/usr/home/aragon/squeakbot/test2</b> on line <b>18</b><br>
Attempting to connect to '209.61.157.217' on port '80'...OK.
Sending HTTP HEAD request...OK.
Reading response:

<br>
<b>Warning</b>: socket_read() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in <b>/usr/home/aragon/squeakbot/test2</b> on line <b>38</b><br>
Closing socket...OK.
