The return value from this function (as of PHP 4.1.1) is actually a boolean: true on success, and false on failure. I was testing for a return value < 0 which of course never happened even when I couldn't bind the socket. This consumed about half an hour, but I can't say I wasn't warned :) *Believe* the warning about experimental features, and always check that it behaves as documented. Avoid experimental features altogether if possible (unfortunately not always an option). -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-bind.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19256 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19256 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19256
