SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)							 1						      SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)

socket_last_error - Returns the last error on the socket

SYNOPSIS
int socket_last_error ([resource $socket]) DESCRIPTION
If a socket resource is passed to this function, the last error which occurred on this particular socket is returned. If the socket resource is omitted, the error code of the last failed socket function is returned. The latter is particularly helpful for functions like socket_create(3) which don't return a socket on failure and socket_select(3) which can fail for reasons not directly tied to a particular socket. The error code is suitable to be fed to socket_strerror(3) which returns a string describing the given error code. PARAMETERS
o $socket - A valid socket resource created with socket_create(3). RETURN VALUES
This function returns a socket error code. EXAMPLES
Example #1 socket_last_error(3) example <?php $socket = @socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); if ($socket === false) { $errorcode = socket_last_error(); $errormsg = socket_strerror($errorcode); die("Couldn't create socket: [$errorcode] $errormsg"); } ?> NOTES
Note socket_last_error(3) does not clear the error code, use socket_clear_error(3) for this purpose. PHP Documentation Group SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)

socket_create_listen - Opens a socket on port to accept connections

SYNOPSIS
resource socket_create_listen (int $port, [int $backlog = 128]) DESCRIPTION
socket_create_listen(3) creates a new socket resource of type AF_INET listening on all local interfaces on the given port waiting for new connections. This function is meant to ease the task of creating a new socket which only listens to accept new connections. PARAMETERS
o $port - The port on which to listen on all interfaces. o $backlog - The $backlog parameter defines the maximum length the queue of pending connections may grow to. SOMAXCONN may be passed as $backlog parameter, see socket_listen(3) for more information. RETURN VALUES
socket_create_listen(3) returns a new socket resource on success or FALSE on error. The error code can be retrieved with socket_last_error(3). This code may be passed to socket_strerror(3) to get a textual explanation of the error. NOTES
Note If you want to create a socket which only listens on a certain interface you need to use socket_create(3), socket_bind(3) and socket_listen(3). SEE ALSO
socket_create(3), socket_create_pair(3), socket_bind(3), socket_listen(3), socket_last_error(3), socket_strerror(3). PHP Documentation Group SOCKET_CREATE_LISTEN(3)
