I'm not sure that the sockets extension would benefit from php_streams as much as php_streams would benefit from the sockets extension, if you see what I mean. I would like to see it using php_streams, as that would result in PHP being much more flexible for the person coding in PHP; they needn't worry about the type of the file handle they pass to any function. To integrate php_streams properly, ext/sockets should converge with fsock.c and use the same underlying sockets implemented as php_streams (it's not too much work). I think it's a good idea to get it done. --Wez.
