socket_last_error
(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
Returns the last error on the socket
Description
If a Socket instance is passed to this function, the last error which occurred on this particular socket is returned. If socket is null, the error code of the last failed socket function is returned. The latter is particularly helpful for functions like socket_create() which don't return a socket on failure and socket_select() which can fail for reasons not directly tied to a particular socket. The error code is suitable to be fed to socket_strerror() which returns a string describing the given error code.
If no error had occurred, or the error had been cleared with socket_clear_error(), the function returns 0.
Parameters
socketA
Socketinstance created withsocket_create().
Return Values
This function returns a socket error code.

Examples
socket_last_error() example
<?php
$socket = @socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if ($socket === false) {
$errorcode = socket_last_error();
$errormsg = socket_strerror($errorcode);
die("Couldn't create socket: [$errorcode] $errormsg");
}
?>Notes
socket_last_error() does not clear the error code, use socket_clear_error() for this purpose.
