Req #40510 [Asn]: Add multicast support in sockets.c

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40510&edit=1 ID: 40510 User updated by: lew dot payne at gmail dot com Reported by: lew dot payne at gmail dot com Summary: Add multicast support in sockets.c Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: FreeBSD 6.2-REL PHP Version: 5.2.1 Assigned To: cataphract Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This ticket was opened four years ago, at which time I supplied source code that I had modified to work on FreeBSD (the original only worked on Linux). If you want to "seriously consider" IPV6 support, please seriously consider finally integrating this patch, and then waiting another four years before considering IPV6. Yes, I'm being sarcastic... but with good reason. I was basically given the runaround, via email with whomever looks at these bug reports, to the point where I simply decided it's easier to *not* contribute anything. I find it both irritating and ironic that, four years later, there is yet another suggestion on delaying the commitment of this patch (e.g., IPV6). And you think government is discouraging and bureaucratic?

Thanks Dinh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-07 13:41:17] daniel at rozsnyo dot com Hello, I've changed the patch to support the php-5.2.1 too. (this version appeared in my gentoo in these days..). It was just some & and * shifted at arg4.

I'd like to propose that the following patch be incorporated into the code, to fully support multicast: http://diary.rozsnyo.com/2006/06/16/php5-ext-sockets-multicast.patch A full explanation of the patch can be found here: http://diary.rozsnyo.com/2006/06/16/multicast-support-in-php.pdf Reproduce code: --------------- http://diary.rozsnyo.com/2006/06/16/php5-ext-sockets-multicast.patch\ Expected result: ---------------- Multicast constants and the necessary structures to support them exist and are now recognized by the socket_set_option and socket_get_option language constructs. Actual result: -------------- - none needed - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40510&edit=1
