Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-03 10:23:08] axelluttgens at swing dot be Description: ------------ I really don't understand following sentence, appearing at manual/en/function.socket-getpeername.php: Note: socket_getpeername() should not be used with AF_UNIX sockets created with socket_accept(). Only sockets created with socket_connect() or a primary server socket following a call to socket_bind() will return meaningful values. For example, $connection = socket_accept($endpoint); socket_getpeername($connection, $peer, $peerport); works perfectly well (one gets client's address and port). More generally, above excerpt tends to remove a good deal of the generality of the getpeername(2) system call. It seems that some kind of cut/paste errors occured while writing above note. For example, perhaps should it have read: Note: socket_getpeername() should not be used with AF_UNIX sockets created with socket_create(). Only sockets created with socket_connect() or a primary server socket following a call to socket_accept() will return meaningful values. But even so, it would remain somewhat obscure.
