Basically, nothing.
If I include it in an Apache script exactly as suggested, then the script
puts out a blank screen, no error messages.
I used the result in an 'if' statement and it apparently returns false, but
that could be an artefact of nothing being returned by file_exists(). It is
possible that since the "file" is really a socket, and not a file or
directory as required by the documentation, it is not found by however
file_exists() looks for files.
There is no error log entry from either Apache or PHP.
