PHP 4.0 Bug #1387 Updated:

ID: 1387 Updated by: jimw Reported By: jsf@swip.net Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: a socket() function was added in 4.0.2. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1999-05-07 10:56:24] jsf@swip.net I would like to have a change in the way fsockopen works. As of now it defaults to TCP as a protocol but in some cases you really would like to specify what protocol to use. I should work something like this: fsockopen(string hostname, int port, string [protocol], int [errno], string [errstr]) Where the option protocol (if not omitted) would default to TCP. I just thought it could be a neat feature if you could specify the protocol. Protocols I can think of are UDP and ICMP for instance. I'm know there are a bunch of networked applications out there which use UDP only and it would be great if PHP and fsockopen would support them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
