New Comment:
This is not a bug in
getprotobyname. It's a bug in documentation for the function.
getprotobyname returns FALSE, not 0 in case of an error. I will fill a
report for that in a moment. You can close this one.

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.getprotobyname#refsect1-function.getprotobyname-returnvalues
---
Return for unrecognized protocol is 0 instead of -1.
PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze3 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Jun 28 2011 13:13:26)
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$protocol = 'BLA';
$get_prot = getprotobyname($protocol);
if ($get_prot == -1) {
echo 'Invalid Protocol';
} else {
echo 'Protocol #' . $get_prot;
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Invalid Protocol
Actual result:
--------------
Protocol #0
