How to enable Socket in PHP?

This answer assumes you do have a php_sockets.dll extension file accessible (in your PHP installation extension directory or where required);

If you're using windows, just uncomment the following line in your php.ini file:

;extension=php_sockets.dll

If you are missing the php_sockets.dll, you can download it from php.net.

here are noobs instructions

• go to your php installation directory in windows it can be something like this c:\xampp\php

• the go to ext directory in php\ext\

• check if your have php_sockets.dll in that directory

• after that open php.ini file which will be in your php folder

• next search for ;extension=php_sockets.dll

if you find it then remove ; from it

if you not find it then search for extension=

and then below some extension add extension=php_sockets.dll

• and finally restart your apache service.

The PHP Docker images come with 3 helper script commands that make installing and configuring extensions easier:

• docker-php-ext-configure: This command allows you to provide the custom arguments for an extension.
• docker-php-ext-install: Use this command to install new extensions in your container.
• docker-php-ext-enable: This command can be used to enable PHP extensions.

Run

docker-php-ext-install sockets
