Socket error: Operation not permitted

[iranor]

I try to run an irc-php interface script, but it can't connect to the irc server. This is what the script debug me:

[DEBUG] Debugging enabled
[DEBUG] Connecting now...
[DEBUG] Socket creation was successful, but an error has occured now: Operation not permitted
[DEBUG] Too many levels of symbolic links
[DEBUG] Reached end of socket!

The 4th error always change between 4 things, but what is the possible cause of the Operation not permitted thing?

What do you use to open the socket?
How do you arrive at these error messages?

function Connect ($server="", $port=-1, $nick="", $user="", $rname="", $pass="")
    {
        if($server!="") $this->_server=$server;
        if($port  !="") $this->_port=$port;
        if($nick  !="") $this->_nick=$nick;
        if($user  !="") $this->_user=strtolower($user);
        if($rname !="") $this->_rname=$rname;
        $this->_svrpass=$pass;

        if($this->_server == "") return $this->doerr("No server was specified!");
        if($this->_port == -1) return $this->doerr("No port was specified!");
        if($this->_nick=="") return $this->doerr("No nick was specified!");
        if($this->_user=="") return $this->doerr("No user was specified!");
        if($this->_rname=="") return $this->doerr("No realname was specified!");

        if(!preg_match("/^[-a-zA-Z.0-9]{5,}$/",$this->_server)) return $this->doerr("Server is malformed!");
        if(!is_numeric($this->_port) || $this->_port!=(int)$this->_port || $this->_port<1024 || $this->_port>65535) return $this->doerr("Specified port is out of range!");
        if(!preg_match("/^[-_a-zA-Z0-9\[\]\|\\]]{1,30}$/",$this->_nick)) return $this->doerr("Nick is invalid!");
        if(!preg_match("/^[_a-z]+$/",$this->_user)) return $this->doerr("User is invalid!");
        if($this->_rname=="") $this->_rname="Web Integration Bot";
        $this->dodebug("Connecting now...");

        if(!($tsk=socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,SOL_TCP))) return $this->doerr("Socket error (".socket_strerror(socket_last_error()).")");
        if(!(socket_bind($tsk,"0.0.0.0",0))) return $this->doerr("Bind error (".socket_strerror(socket_last_error()).")");
        if(!(socket_connect($tsk,$this->_server,$this->_port))) return $this->doerr("Connect error (".socket_strerror(socket_last_error()).")");
        $this->_sock=$tsk;   unset($tsk);
        if($e=socket_last_error($this->_sock) > 0)
        {
            return $this->doerr("Socket creation was successful, but an error has occured now: ".socket_strerror($e));
        }

        //socket_set_nonblock($this->_sock);
        if($this->_svrpass != "")
            $this->send_raw("PASS ".$this->_svrpass);
        $this->send_raw("NICK ".$this->_nick);
        $this->send_raw(sprintf("USER %s %s %s :%s",$this->_user,"gordo.ehpg.net",$this->_server,$this->_rname));
        sleep(1);
        return 1;
    }

Cleaned, the important parts are:

function Connect ($server="", $port=-1, $nick="", $user="", $rname="")
    {
        $this->dodebug("Connecting now...");

        $tsk = socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,SOL_TCP);
        socket_bind($tsk, "0.0.0.0", 0);
        socket_connect($tsk, $this->_server, $this->_port);
        $this->_sock=$tsk;
        unset($tsk);
        if($e = socket_last_error($this->_sock) > 0)
        {
            return $this->doerr("Socket creation was successful, but an error has occured now: ".socket_strerror($e));
        }
    }

This is the config file which give the server informations:

<?
include 'irc.php';
$irc = new IRC(1);
$server = 'irc.gamesurge.net';
$port = '6667';
$nick = 'Botname';
$ident = 'Botname';
$rname = 'Botname';

$irc->connect($server, $port, $nick, $ident, $rname);
$irc->message_loop();
?>
[/code>

I don't know if it does matter about the file size, or something... But the above code shows me 90% of the time the error message Operation not permitted.

If i change one line of the script /comment some line, it works fine, but i'm quite limited in the amount of code allowed

I'm seeing some weirdness with your code.

Your function accepts a server and port, which your code snippet is passing to it, but it does not actually use the parameters you're passing the function.
