Fatal error: Call to undefined function: socket_create()

[gapla]

I get an error when running this script with sockets

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); 
socket_bind($socket,'localhost',1337); 
socket_listen($socket);
while($connection = socket_accept($socket)) 
{ 
socket_write($connection,'You\'ve successfully connected to my
computer!\r\n'); 
           }

It shouts something like..

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: socket_create() in C:\Archivos de programa\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\sock.php on line 2

According to the PHP online manual, PHP's socket functions are not available unless PHP is compiled with the "--enable-sockets" option.

Was your PHP installation compiled with this option?

I'm an absolute novice
How do i compile?

 

[sleipnir214]

As a general rule, you use a compiler.

You question cannot be answered in specific without knowing more information.

On what platform are you running PHP?

With what web server, and will you run PHP as a web server module or as a standalone CGI?

SO: W98 and linux
Web server: Abyss and Apache
cgi

I'm proving the next trick before compiling
Find your PHP.INI file, find the line with "php_sockets.dll" and remove the semi colon ( at the start of the line.
