    Yes there is...

    PHP Sockets are not as easy as winsock however, there are no events such as DataArrival.

    PHP Sockets are best used for a socket client rather than a server (though is possible).

    They have been around for a long time so there are plenty of examples out there if you have a search.

    One other thing to note is if your using a free webhost, they tend to disable the use of PHP Sockets because of people using them for malicious purposes.

    Re: winsock

    The fsockopen function can be used for simple two way TCP connections. It lacks the granularity of PHP sockets but makes up for it in its simplicity.
