ZEND_API int zend_fetch_list_dtor_id(char *type_name);


As an implementation:

In *your* socketi.c:

static int le_socket = -1;

PHP_RINIT(socketi)
{
    if (le_socket == -1) {
        le_socket = zend_fetch_list_dtor_id("Socket");
    }

    return (le_socket == -1) ? FAILURE : SUCCESS;
}



By doing it in RINIT you avoid the potential problem of having socketi 
loaded before socket (which could happen if they're both shared).  Once the 
first request has retreived it, later requests won't have to try because 
it'll be persistently known from then on.

The one pitfall to this method is that *IF* another ext defines a resource 
named "Socket" (case-sensitive), you could pick up the wrong lde ID.  Fairly 
left-field chance, but technically not impossible.
