[Tutorial question] PHP 5 Sockets with Flash 8

Greetings

I get this error when I do the command prompt stuff explained in page 5 of the http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/php5sockets_flash8.htm tutorial:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create()

After I received that ugly output I checked php.net and found this:

Installation

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.

(http://dk.php.net/manual/en/sockets.installation.php)

Does this mean that I need to alter the php.ini file?

If you know what I need to do to make the chat work I’d really appreciate your help!
