Description:
------------
In socket_create manual entry and in table 3 (common protocls) you only say the name of the protocols and you missed the constants.
Instead of tcp, you should write SOL_TCP.

In sockets' main page, you should alter the following line:
$socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

to

$socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);

I don't know the constant for icmp. maybe its SOL_SOCKET??

The SOL_TCP and SOL_UDP constants are listed in the paragraph above the table. The "names" in the table are strings you use with getprotobyname() (as the paragraph explains). I have, however, changed that 0 in the example to SOL_TCP for clarity. Thanks for pointing this out!
