You might want to take a look at the new stream stuff as well, especially the new undocumented stream_select() so you can have several backends if the socket extension is not installed. Some stuff will break without the socket extension though but it would be nice to have something to fall back on. Cooincidentally I discussed this and related issues with the new Net_IRC author on IRC earlier today. And we talked specifically about how it would be nice to have a good socket class which dealt with abstracting this sort of thing. A good test of the usability might be to try to port Net_IRC, Yapircl or something similar to it. gtk
