#38739 [NEW]: stream_socket_server should not require a port

From: magicaltux at ookoo dot org Operating system: * PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: stream_socket_server should not require a port Description: ------------ When trying, for example, to do : <?php $socket = stream_socket_server('tcp://0.0.0.0', $errno, $errstr); var_dump($errstr); ?> We get the following output : Warning: stream_socket_server(): unable to connect to tcp://0.0.0.0 (Failed to parse address "0.0.0.0") in /home/magicaltux/- on line 2 string(33) "Failed to parse address "0.0.0.0"" Expected result would be to have no port passed to bind, and thru having a random port allocated by the operating system (that we would later retrieve with stream_socket_get_name). In socket_bind, the port is also optionnal. It's still possible to get a random port by using ":0" but the no-port behaviour would be great too (and probably not too hard to implement). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $socket = stream_socket_server('tcp://0.0.0.0', $errno, $errstr); var_dump($errstr); ?> Expected result: ---------------- string(0) "" Actual result: -------------- Warning: stream_socket_server(): unable to connect to tcp://0.0.0.0 (Failed to parse address "0.0.0.0") in /home/magicaltux/- on line 2 string(33) "Failed to parse address "0.0.0.0"" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38739&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38739&r=mysqlcfg
