To say the truth I got the same error on your function, however I got it also on the function provided at www.php.net. I thought it migth be a problem with php version (PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5), but I have PHP 4.3.8.

I read on google that you may not have installed the sockets. Try phpinfo(), there you can see your installed components. I hope that helps a bit.

BTW Welcome to Webmasterworld :)

tnx man,
i got the mysql.default_socket but it has no value
wat should i do?

Dear Zenden!

mysql is irrelevant in this case. You need to have a php-sockets extension installed. I found an rpm at

[rpms.troels.arvin.dk...]

However they say that it's out of date, so if you find a newer somewhere just install it.

BTW (by the way) Translate all Polish variables in your code to English, so others will also understand you, and as Coopster said, don't paste irrelevant code.

Thanks and hope it helps you
Best regards

Michal is stating that it seems you are missing the socket functions because they are not compiled into your installation.

Installation

The socket functions described here are part of an extension to PHP which must be enabled at compile time by giving the --enable-sockets option to configure.

Resource:
[php.net...]

Michal also stated that by running the phpinfo() function you can view your Configure Command and installation directives. Search the page that is displayed to find out if you have enabled sockets. The message you are receiving says that you do not have sockets installed, therefore your script is failing.

how can i install this rpm files?

[coopster]

Sorry, the link was broken. I fixed it. It says the same as the quotation though, you need to enable the sockets functions at compile time.
