Couldn't Create Socket: Success

PHP usually auto-converts data -- However it's possible that this
EXPERIMENTAL function (?) doesn't have the magic code down in the guts of
PHP.

So, try type-casting your third parameter to an (int):

    $currport = $servers[$key]['Port']; // was attempting this to see

$currport = (int) $servers[$key]['Port'];

echo "currport is: '$currport'<br />\n";

If this fixes it, file a bug report at http://bugs.php.net -- search for
the same issue first.  It should get fixed pretty quick-like (relatively
speaking) if that's all it is.

It's also possible that your 'Port' is empty or something...  That's why I
included the 'echo' -- Always hand-check the data you are sending when
weird things happen.

One line of debugging output can save hours of time and fistfuls of hair.

I actually fixed it by using a simple preg_replace to remove any 
returns/spaces. It was actually imported from a text file and I forgot 
to clean up any excess characters taht could still exist.

However,now I get the error: Couldn't Create Socket: Transport endpoint 
is already connected after it successfully connects once already.

The new code is found in my other post (socket_connect errors), but for 
reference:

if(($sock = socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,SOL_TCP)) < 0){

    print("Couldn't Create Socket: " . 
socket_strerror(socket_last_error()). "\n");

}

socket_set_option($sock, SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVTIMEO, array('sec' => 1, 
'usec' => 0));

$output = '';

for($i = 0; $i < count($file); $i++){

    $servernum = $file[$i];

    $i++;

    $servername = $file[$i];

    $serverport = $file2[$i];

    $serverport = preg_replace('/\s/','',$serverport);

    // Test if server online - if not, output offline. If yes, output 
Online.

    if(!socket_connect($sock, $ip, $mapport)){

        print("Couldn't Create Socket: " . 
socket_strerror(socket_last_error()). "\n"); // Debug

        $output .= "Server Name: " . $servername. " ~~ Offline <br />";

        continue;

    }

    else{

        $output .= "Server Name: " . $servername. " ~~ Online <br />";

    }

}
