#21366 [Opn]: socket_getpeername does not function with AF_UNIX sockets

ID: 21366 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: piotr at t-p-l dot com Status: Open -Bug Type: Sockets related +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: When creating server sockets there are two socket resources: $serversocket = socket_create(....); and $connectionsocket = socket_accept($serversocket); socket_getpeername($serversocket) will return the path of the server socket itself (/tmp/mysock in your case), but socket_getpeername($connectionsocket) doesn't have anything sensical to return since its 'peer' isn't a real socket location. This is documented in the libc man pages, but it could certainly use a note in the PHP manual. Reclassifying.

I just have a simple question .. what do you get when you run that code and then connect to that socket? what is the expected result of the getpeername command when dealing with a unix socket? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-09 18:47:08] sniper@php.net No feedback was provided.

I used the utility "sock" to quickly connect to the socket) was the following: Connection from Address: Üã0 Port: aka .. gibberish .. here is the result of php -v for your reference: PHP 4.3.0 (cli) (built: Jan 13 2003 01:39:49) Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-13 19:42:42] sniper@php.net Could your please provide a short but _complete_, self-contained script?
