Exactly as I mean: just in case it doesn't work for someone, it's best to check if the socket module is loaded or not (since, once again, it's disabled by default in PHP5).

Also, curious, is there some reason for typecasting float onto the timeout when the default type for that parameter is float as it is? Some bug fix or what not?
