yeah he couldn't find it either. He mentioned it's not in the php extensions
so I am looking for way to install it or add it.

yes to see the errors we ran it at cli. The browser page with sockets code

Yeah, this gives no results. Hence, I think sockets are not enabled yet as
sockets.so is missing.

When I add this line (dl('sockets.so');) to the top of my script I get the
following error:
PHP Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library './sockets.so' - ld.so.1:
php: fatal: ./sockets.so: open failed: No such file or directory in
/..../r.php on line 2
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create() in
/.....r.php on line 24
When I add this line (var_dump(extension_loaded('sockets'));) to the top of
my script:
bool(false)
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create() in
/....../r.php on line 24
to see if sockets are actually enabled where you're trying to invoke them

Can I get any help on how to add or install sockets.so to the php
extensions...
