Hi,

my work environemt:

windows xp, php 5 and apache 2.2

Is installation of winpcap required for socket programming in php. I have the socket extension enabled but I still get errors asking for for dll files…lcrzo.dll, wpcap.dll, packet.dll etc

what is your suggestion ?

Thanks & regards,  
sachin.

The same environment is working fine for me…I dont think the dlls are needed.socket extension should be there.
