Socket context option listing

Descrierea

Socket context options are available for all wrappers that work over sockets, like tcp, http and ftp.

Opțiuni

bindto: Used to specify the IP address (either IPv4 or IPv6) and/or the port number that PHP will use to access the network. The syntax is ip:port for IPv4 addresses, and [ip]:port for IPv6 addresses. Setting the IP or the port to 0 will let the system choose the IP and/or port.

Notă:
As FTP creates two socket connections during normal operation, the port number cannot be specified using this option.
backlog: Used to limit the number of outstanding connections in the socket's listen queue.

Notă:
This is only applicable to stream_socket_server().
ipv6_v6only: Overrides the OS default regarding mapping IPv4 into IPv6.

Notă:
This is important in particular when trying to listen on IPv4 addresses separately while there exists a binding on [::].

This is only applicable to stream_socket_server().
so_reuseport: Allows multiple bindings to a same ip:port pair, even from separate processes.

Notă:
This is only applicable to stream_socket_server().
so_broadcast: Enables sending and receiving data to/from broadcast addresses.

Notă:
This is only applicable to stream_socket_server().

// create the context...
$context = stream_context_create($opts);

// ...and use it to fetch the data
