Sockets() Function

[Anon]

I've seen a few things here and there about using the sockets() function on Windows, but I can't get it to work on either of my machines (WinNT4SP6, IIS4, PHP4.0.3pl1 and Win2000ProSP1, OmniHTTPd, PHP4.0.3pl1).

For the *nix version there's something about compiling with a parameter, but I'm using the pre-compiled Win32 binary.

I looked at the .DLL's that come with the PHP archive, but there didn't seem to be anything in there to help me.

Am I missing something really obvious? I'd really like to have access to these features (fsockopen was useful for low-end client socket stuff, but now I want to build servers).

Thanks in advanced,

Yeah, just today I was searching for a way to use Sockets on a copy of PHP for win32 and couldent get any information, I was really looking forward to using PHP to build a server and now find out I can't or at least can't right yet, but still, socket functions should be avaible for all platforms. If anyone has a answer to are question PLEASE post. Thanks!
