This is pretty easy to do, but I should warn that PHP's socket support is still labeled as experimental, though I have found it to be very stable, and I know of no plans to change the API. Quite a while ago now, I wrote a simple HTTP proxy in PHP that listens on port 4887 by default. It is a single script, so it is pretty easy to follow, and you're welcome to check it out at http://protoscope.org/. It is probably a better example than I could come up with here. Hope that helps.
