Does not work on Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run: C:\path\to\php.exe -f C:\path\to\chat.php
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Chat daemon does not start.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

The above command works, but does not initiate the daemon on Windows 
(tested on XP and Windows Server 2003. As far as i can tell there is no 
way to get the program working on Windows at all...

Please provide any additional information below.

This might sound dumb, But I had success loading the php file from the httpd.

Eg c:\web\ is http://website.com/
Navigate to http://website.com/chat.php

I know it may not be a good permanint fix - But give it a try

I am unable to get this to work in windows either.  I currently get:

[ERROR] C:\path\to\webchat\libs\socketServer.php:5 Use of undefined constant 
AF_INET
- assumed 'AF_INET' [ERROR] C:\path\to\webchat\libs\socketServer.php:5 Use of
undefined constant SOCK_STREAM - assumed 'SOCK_STREAM'

Actually that could be fixed by defining them manually, try doing a define
(‘SOCK_STREAM’, 1); and likewise for AF_INET, 2 … should atleast fix 
those 2 errors

I did that, and now I have a blank page with no errors.

I had that problem too, but I replaced those 2 constants -just- in the
socketServer.php file for the constructer, and now it runs fine.

Although, to make things a little smoother for the exec:

> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\php\

And I soon realised it was designed as a CGI app, so:

*\webchat2-1.0\> php-cgi.exe -Cq chat.php

And it runs fine on Win.

Just remove comments in front of
> extension=php_sockets.dll
in your php.ini.

Comment 6 fixes it.  Unfortunatly, once I have it running, I connect to it's 
server 
on port 81 where I set it, and the whole thing looks like it's all greyed out, 
and i 
can't click on anything. In any browser.  I do see "Notice from irc server .." 
and 
such, though.
