IPv6 support was added in 2001. You didn't say what version of PHP you are having this problem with, so it's hard to say why yours doesn't have support for it. Perhaps it was configured with --disable-ipv6 for some reason, or compiled on a system without the necessary libraries installed (which would be somewhat surprising).
