PHP Sockets Not Working

I switched from Lighttpd server to WAMP and then found sockets in php are not working. But php is configured and working. (phpinfo() works) I removed the comment for the php_sockets.dll in php.ini @ C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5.but still gives the error "Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create()". Any more configurations to do to enable sockets in php in WAMP? (php_sockets.dll is there as well, I've checked)

Thank You!

Apparently there are two php.ini files - and the command line uses a different one to the Apache server.

find the line ;extension=php_sockets.dll and remove the semi-colon from both files.

The Apache php.ini file is located at: X:\WAMP INSTALL DIR\bin\apache\Apache2\bin\php.ini

The command prompt php.ini file is located at: X:\WAMP INSTALL DIR\bin\php\php.ini

Worked straight away for me...

Title is misleading - in your case PHP soockets are merely not available.

I removed the comment for the php_sockets.dll in php.ini @ C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5

Did you check that is the .ini file which PHP is using at runtime?

Did you restart the webserver?

Have you got all logging enabled?

Do you get startup errors?
