Hello, I got a book right in front of me that I'm using to test out some socket codes. Trying this one out for a socket between internal processes but got a problem when executing. 
$AF_UNIX=1;
$STREAMS=1;
$PROTOCOL=0;
socket($SERVERSOCKET,$AF_UNIX,$STREAMS,$PROTOCOL);
bind($SERVERSOCKET,"./mysocket");

[download]

The error occurs at 'bind'. What exactly am I supposed to replace the "./mysocket" with? The book says its the file I am associating the socket handle with. I've tried all sorts of formats, absolute pathnames, relative pathnames but there is always an error with the binding.

Thanks for any help from you all.
