socket_create() generating error, but PHP was compiled with socket support.

[DWilliams]

I moved one of my scripts over to a new machine. It requires a special compilation of PHP with socket support and a couple other things. I had it working fine on the old machine, but this one appears to be having troubles for some reason. I compiled and installed PHP with the required extensions.

 

When I run my script, I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function socket_create() in /home/danny/projects/PHPChatServ/ChatServ.php on line 379

 

Here is the "Configure Command" section of my phpinfo() showing that it was indeed compiled with the --enable-sockets option:

What gives?

Check out the installation document.

 

You need to also enable the extension in the php.ini file.

That's strange, I don't remember having to do that before.

 

Oh well. The instructions in that link were for Windows but the procedure for Linux is similar. It works now, thanks
