RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: Client socket

Makes sense. Dunno why it didn't occur to me before - the '3' says it all. I need the actual socket - which when written to will send data to the client. Is it there in the request_rec structure? Or can I get it some other way?

Are you trying to get ahold of the socket/port number itself? Or connect to the actual socket?
