See description at stack overflow : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41624814/php-socket-sendto-cannot-connect-to-any-host Test script: --------------- <?php $sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP); $msg = "Ping !"; $len = strlen($msg); socket_connect($sock, '127.0.0.1', 1223); // this line missing from documentation socket_sendto($sock, $msg, $len, 0, '127.0.0.1', 1223); socket_close($sock); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78657&edit=1
