error on socket_create

planeswalk · October 15th, 2004, 01:25 PM

Hi,

I have the following system installed:

PHP 4.3.9
Windows 2000 Server - IIS 5.0

Basically my problem is when I try to call the socket_create() function in a script, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: socket_create()

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Marlon

You need to enable the entension in php.ini.

First, uncomment the reference to the .dll.

Code:

;extension=php_pgsql.dll
;extension=php_shmop.dll
;extension=php_snmp.dll
extension=php_sockets.dll
;extension=php_sybase_ct.dll
;extension=php_tidy.dll
;extension=php_w32api.dll
;extension=php_xmlrpc.dll

Then make sure that the extension dll exists in the extension directory, which is set via the extension_dir directive.

Code:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"

Restart your HTTP server after ini modifications, and the function should work.

(Most common PHP extensions are shipped in the .zip download of PHP)

HTH!

Regards,
Rich

Thanks for the prompt answer!

Unfortunately it gave me another error :(

Now I see an "HTTP 400 - Bad Request" error when I try to run the code, and I get prompted with the error:

Unable to load the module 'c:\php\extensions\php_sockets.dll'

even if the dll is already in that folder. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Make sure your extension_dir is set properly. If all else fails, you can either add PHP's extension dir to your system path, or copy/move the extension dll to a directory in the system path (e.g. c:\winnt\system32)

Take care,
