What are common errors that can occur when opening a socket in a PHP function?

Common errors that can occur when opening a socket in a PHP function include incorrect permissions, network connectivity issues, or misconfigured server settings. To solve these issues, ensure that the server has the necessary permissions to open a socket, check the network connection, and verify that the server settings are correctly configured. 

// Example PHP code snippet to open a socket with error handling
$socket = @fsockopen('www.example.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, 5);
if (!$socket) {
    echo "Error opening socket: $errstr ($errno)";
} else {
    // Socket opened successfully, continue with operations
    fclose($socket);
}
