Answer 1

(Assuming you don't have a custom-installation of PHP missing the .dll)

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

;extension=php_sockets.dll

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

Answer 2

Have you started with the PHP Manual entry on sockets yet?

Answer 3

The socket functions described here are part of an extension to PHP which must be enabled at compile time by giving the --enable-sockets option to configure.

From the extension's documentation.
