The most obvious answer is to use them for speaking internet protocols not directly supported by other functionality in PHP. For instance, there are already ways to speak HTTP, but if you need to talk to a whois server, a finger server, etc., then it's sockets to the rescue. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
