We have installed php on our webserver but we need the socket module enabled. Much of what we read it says to run 'dnf install php8-socket' but that doesn't seem to exist in the aixtools repo. Has php already been compiled for this module and it just needs to be enabled? If so, how do I do this?

Here is our error:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'sockets' (tried: /opt/freeware/lib/php/modules/sockets (Could not load module /opt/freeware/lib/php/modules/sockets.

System error: No such file or directory), /opt/freeware/lib/php/modules/sockets.so (Could not load module /opt/freeware/lib/php/modules/sockets.so.

Hello,

php in AIX Toolbox has not been compiled with the socket module enabled. 
We will try to enable this module and check it out.

Thank you, Reshma, for your response. What is the timeframe you usually have for completing something like this?
