Socket programming in php for WINDOWS?

[sjlim]

I'm trying to do some socket programming with php in windows.

The actual sample code is found in http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SocketProgramming/page2.html

But I get the following error..

<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: socket_create() in <b>C:\PHP\s
ocket.php</b> on line <b>11</b><br />

Does the windows binary have the necessary extensions? How can I get it to work?

Many thanks,
Steve.
