Socket擴展是基于流行的BSD sockets，實現了和socket通訊功能的底層接口，它可以和客戶端一樣當做一個socket服務器。 想了解更通用的客戶端socket接口，請看[stream\_socket\_client()](https://www.php.net/manual/zh/function.stream-socket-client.php),[stream\_socket\_server()](https://www.php.net/manual/zh/function.stream-socket-server.php),[fsockopen()](https://www.php.net/manual/zh/function.fsockopen.php), 和[pfsockopen()](https://www.php.net/manual/zh/function.pfsockopen.php)。 使用這些函數時請注意，雖然他們中有很多和C函數同名的，但聲明卻很可能不同。未避免混淆，請仔細閱讀函數描述。 不熟悉socket編程的可以在Unix手冊上找到很多有用的信息，網上也有很多C socket編程方面的教程，簡單修改一下就可以應用于PHP socket編程。[??Unix Socket FAQ](http://www.unixguide.net/network/socketfaq/)是一個不錯的入門。 這里描述的socket函數只是PHP擴展的一部分，編譯PHP時必須在**配置**中添加**\--enable-sockets**配置項來啟用 在 PHP 5.0.0 開始加入了對 IPv6 的支持。 *
