Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53851&edit=1 ID: 53851 User updated by: spandit at stealth dot net Reported by: spandit at stealth dot net Summary: socket_create protocol int (IPv6) Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: FreeBSD 8.x PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Discard; Perhaps the doc should just be updated to include some IPv6 protocols (e.g. ipv6-icmp) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-26 23:36:22] spandit at stealth dot net Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.socket-create#Parameters --- The protocol section needs to be updated to account for the IPv6 protocol numbers. For example, calling getprotobyname('icmp') returns 1; or users would enter '1' for ICMP. For IPv6, this would be '58'. To open a raw socket for a ICMPv6, the command would be: socket_create(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, '58'); Test script: --------------- <?php $package = "\x08\x00\x7d\x4b\x00\x00\x00\x00Howdy"; // Write fails in this test $socket = socket_create(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, 1); socket_write($socket, $package, strlen($package)); // Write successful in this test $socket = socket_create(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, 58); socket_write($socket, $package, strlen($package)); Expected result: ---------------- See above Actual result: -------------- See above ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53851&edit=1
