Description
string 
socket_strerror ( int errno )
     socket_strerror() takes as its
     errno parameter a socket error code as returned by
     socket_last_error() and returns the corresponding
     explanatory text. This makes it a bit more pleasant to figure out why
     something didn't work; for instance, instead of having to track down a
     system include file to find out what '-111' means, you just pass it to
     socket_strerror(), and it tells you what happened.
    
     
| Example 1. socket_strerror() example | 
<?phpif (false == ($socket = @socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP))) {
 echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . "\n";
 }
 
 if (false == (@socket_bind($socket, '127.0.0.1', 80))) {
 echo "socket_bind() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket)) . "\n";
 }
 ?>

       The expected output from the above example (assuming the script
       is not run with root privileges):
       | socket_bind() failed: reason: Permission denied |
