I've noticed in the PHP docs "EXPERIMENTAL" is marked over all the socket functions. Would it be risky to develop a PHP socket app using those functions? It seems they could change with the next release and my app would instantly stop working.
On the other hand, I've found a lot of tutorials extolling PHP's socket functions, and since I know PHP a bit now I would rather use it for my TCP socket application than learn C and implement it there.
What do you think?
