I wanted to ask about how to activate the sockets extension of my php. I have tried uncommenting the line "extension=sockets" but it gives me the following error afterwards:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'sockets'

Can anybody help me?

  • Which PHP version? Which operating system? Linux: sockets.so, Windows sockets.dll - the extension is necessary with older PHP versions. However the shared library must be available as well. – hakre Jun 05 '22 at 20:29
  • my php version is 7.4, I have tried to put "extension=sockets.so" in the php.ini but it gives me the same error :(, I have linux on my server – sebastian Ortiz Jun 06 '22 at 14:06
  • Yes, the .so file must exist as well. Otherwise the answer to the question is: You can't activate an extension that does not exist. Perhaps the question you're asking is not the actual problem? – hakre Jun 06 '22 at 14:48
  • So, I would change the question to "how can I put the library that is not found, where can I download it, and in what path do I put it" – sebastian Ortiz Jun 06 '22 at 15:02
  • Which Linux Distro are you using? How did you install PHP? How did you install the installed PHP extensions (non-core ones). What is the name of the package of the PHP extension you want to install? – hakre Jun 06 '22 at 15:04
  • - ubuntu 20.04 - the php was installed automatically with the web administration panel "direct admin" - Currently I have not installed any extension - I don't know the name of the package to install, I don't know which one is necessary for the sockets.so library I needed to activate the sockets extension, to do a practice of web sockets with php, but my knowledge is not enough to solve the error that I showed you – sebastian Ortiz Jun 06 '22 at 15:18
  • Please contact the support of "direct admin" they should have all the details present to serve you. – hakre Jun 06 '22 at 15:36
