How to write socket codes via php

I wrote the follwing code in PHP

<?php
$mysocket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM , 0);
socket_bind($mysocket, '127.0.0.1',1024);
socket_listen($mysocket) or die("unable to listen!");
socket_connect($mysocket , '127.0.0.1' , 1024);?>

and an error showed up says"

Warning: socket_connect(): unable to connect [102]: Operation not supported on socket in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/SOCKTEST.php on line 5"

Where is the problem?

Servers listen and accept, clients connect. The same socket endpoint cannot be both a server (listen) and a client (connect)

I don't know the goal of your code. But here is a great tutorial for socket programming in PHP.

https://www.christophh.net/2012/07/24/php-socket-programming/

I have tested your code. The error comes if your bind your socket to and address

$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_bind($sock, '127.0.0.1');
socket_connect($sock, '127.0.0.1', 1337);
socket_close($sock);

http://php.net/manual/de/function.socket-bind.php

Example from the PHP documentation. Perhaps its better if you use different instances to test your problem that you can connect through your network to another instance or computer. For this you can use vagrant for example.
