Great, that you are going to integrate something like that. Yes,
unfortunatly this feature appears to be linux-only :-/ ('ve read man
pages and wrote test code on SunOS 5.8, IRIX 3, FreeBSD 4.3 and MacOS X
10.1).
Nevertheless it's a cool feature since Linux removes abdoned Unix
sockets of the abstract namespace automatically -- you don't have to
take care about removing Unix sockets, don't need clever code to figure
out weither a unix socket file belongs to a vital daemon or just is
left over...

My man page for unix sockets says this:
If sun_path starts with a zero byte it refers to the
abstract namespace maintained by the Unix protocol module.
The socket's address in this namespace is given by the
rest of the bytes in sun_path. Note that names in the
abstract namespace are not zero-terminated.
I'll integrate something that can handle this into the new
streams architecture; you might not be able to do this in
the PHP 4.2, but the release after will have it.
Do you know if this is linux-only or do other platforms
support it?

fsockopen can't handle unix sockets created in abstract namespace (unix
sockets with the associated pathname starting with '\0'; see UNIX(4) of
the 'Linux Programmer's Manual' for details).
This bug is 'caused since the implementation of fsockopen in PHP 4.0.6
uses strlcpy to copy from $hostname to unix_addr.sun_path without
looking at the first byte of $hostname (fsock.c, line 240). One
possible solution would be to change line 240 from
strlcpy(unix_addr.sun_path, (*args[0])->value.str.val,
sizeof(unix_addr.sun_path));
to
pathofs = ((*args[0])->value.str.val[0] ? 0 : 1);
strlcpy(unix_addr.sun_path + pathofs,
(*args[0])->value.str.val + pathofs,
sizeof(unix_addr.sun_path) - pathofs);
where pathofs would be of type "size_t".
Another solution avoiding the ugly '\0' byte would be to introduce
separate scheme prefixes like "file:" and "abstract:" for UNIX domain
sockets.
Ciao,
Mathias
