I have the same problem with PHP 5.1.4 version. The soket can't receive
connections from internet, but can do it in local network. But when i
put 0.0.0.0 in address socket_bind I begin to receive connections.

In some (many) connections i receive warning in socket_write and
socket_read because "unable to write/read from socket [0]".

My operating system is: Windows XP.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc.

If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
Standard latest xampp setup (including PHP 5.0.4).
When using socket_create_listen(port), it does not listen on all
interfaces as the docs indicate that it would. I was unable to connect
to the machine using anything other than localhost (127.0.0.1).

The workaround is to use socket_create, socket_bind (with 0.0.0.0 as
the address) and socket_listen to accomplish the same task.
