Create a socket.

[MartinWeb]

I have never created a socket before, and the PHP website isn't much help. Can someone please help me set one up? Thanks in advance.

What are you looking to do with the socket? Just trying stuff out? Typically there's quite a few built in ways to read/write files over a network without having to deal with the underlying socket structure.

Anyway, were you able to find the fsockopen function? [us3.php.net...]

I am trying to create an online real time game made with JS, html, and PHP. I am looking for a way to update a players board when their opponent moves. When a player moves, a field is updated in a MySQL database.
