Actually, I just reread your response again. socket_select returns NULL on a SELECT error, this does not mean that it will return an error on a socket IN the set you are selecting on that has errored.
In the case of a socket you are selecting on has errored, the socket will show up as readable. You then can perform a socket_read/recv, and you should receive NULL (errored socket), then you can call socket_last_error to receive the errno. If the socket has hit an eof your socket_read would have returned a 0 len string, socket_recv would return 0 bytes, and socket_select would have shown the socket to be readable. All in all, socket_get_status is designed for the abstracted interface fsockopen, and not for the lowlevel socket. The way it does this is by performing the steps suggested by J. Smith and myself above. Also, if you want to just check for an error on a socket, and you don't want to read your data (which you should rarely have to do) there is a MSG_PEEK option you can pass socket_recv that will allow you to look ahead and not clear.
