I would suggest that you give normal socket programming a try first before you start looking at wrapper classes. You might be surprised with what you find.

I have found that socket programming in C/C++ on Unix to be extremely straightforward and easier than on a Win32 system without the need for the MFC.

There is a lot of demo code available and I have found that books that deal with socket programming under Linux translate fine into the BSD side of things.

SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)							 1						      SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)

socket_last_error - Returns the last error on the socket

SYNOPSIS
int socket_last_error ([resource $socket]) DESCRIPTION
If a socket resource is passed to this function, the last error which occurred on this particular socket is returned. If the socket resource is omitted, the error code of the last failed socket function is returned. The latter is particularly helpful for functions like socket_create(3) which don't return a socket on failure and socket_select(3) which can fail for reasons not directly tied to a particular socket. The error code is suitable to be fed to socket_strerror(3) which returns a string describing the given error code. PARAMETERS
o $socket - A valid socket resource created with socket_create(3). RETURN VALUES
This function returns a socket error code. EXAMPLES
Example #1 socket_last_error(3) 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
Note socket_last_error(3) does not clear the error code, use socket_clear_error(3) for this purpose. PHP Documentation Group SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)
