Description:
------------
The first example on the Sockets section of the manual uses socket_bind
and socket_listen incorrectly. They manual page for each function
correctly states that they return BOOLEAN values, not error return
codes. That means the lines:
if (($ret = socket_bind($sock, $address, $port)) < 0) {
echo "socket_bind() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($ret) .
"\n";
}
if (($ret = socket_listen($sock, 5)) < 0) {
echo "socket_listen() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($ret) .
"\n";
}
Will not fail, if there is an error. If they did fail, they would not
report any meaningful error message (error 0 ie false is "success").
Reproduce code:
---------------
if (($ret = socket_bind($sock, $address, $port)) < 0) {
echo "socket_bind() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($ret) .
"\n";
}
if (($ret = socket_listen($sock, 5)) < 0) {
echo "socket_listen() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($ret) .
"\n";
}
Expected result:
----------------
If the socket is not available it should stop the execution of the
script and display a meaningful error message.
Actual result:
--------------
It will continue to run the code below, even if there really was an
error. If it did stop, it would not print the correct error message
