PHP doesnt recognize socket_create()

[nesvarbu]

PHP 4.3.5 doesnt recognize function socket_create(). Whats the problem?

Heres the code:

<?php
if (($sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) {
echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror ($sock) . "\n";
}
?>

Error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: socket_create() in d:\web\skirgesa\bandymas.php on line 9

Its probably that your supplying an invalid arguement. The function does excist [man]socket_create[/man]

or it might be the case that your host has restricted the use of socket functions - my previous host did this.

also, i'm not sure whether sockets have always been included in php builds, so you might be on an old php version
