Hello,
I am new to hosting but I have a apache server running on my windows XP computer, today I found a PHP script that will do a port scan on an IP, I tried to run it but it said that it required sockets and I don't have it installed on my server, I don't know anything about enabling sockets on my server and would like some info or links to explain it!!!

Thanks In Advance!!!

You probably need to load the extension in php.ini. I think the module is called 'sockets', so add 'extension=sockets.dll'

OK, I did that and it installed it, I know that it installed becaue the firest time it couldn't find the file (it was named different) so I fixed the name and then restarted the server, but it still says that I don't have sockets installed when I run the port scanner
