Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. These constants aren't available on Windows. I added two new sections with information on which constants thats defined on Unix and which thats defined on Windows.

I get a message stating that any of the MSG_ constants are undefined when I attempt to use this function. Reproduce code: --------------- $socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); socket_bind ($socket, 'localhost', '54321'); socket_set_block($socket); socket_listen ($socket); while ($conn = socket_accept ($socket)) { socket_send ($conn, "ABCD", 4, MSG_EOF); // MSG_EOF not defined socket_close ($conn); } socket_close ($socket); Expected result: ---------------- The expected result is that all four of the MSG_ constants are defined as documented. Actual result: -------------- The actual result is that the constants are undefined and the data is never sent over the socket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44280&edit=1
