Hi, yeah ext/sockets again :-)
The 5th param of socket_sendto() obviously cannot be a hostname (string). socket_bind(), socket_connect() etc. allow this though. So I am not sure wether it is wanted or not. But I guess it is :-) For socket_sendto() though one would need to use gethostbyname ("my.host.com") and use its returnvalue as the 5th param to socket_sendto() or directly use a dotted-decimal notation. chaning: if (inet_aton(addr, &addr_buf) == 0) { sin.sin_addr.s_addr = addr_buf.s_addr; } else { to (omitting "== 0"): if (inet_aton(addr, &addr_buf) ) { sin.sin_addr.s_addr = addr_buf.s_addr; } else { allows to use also hostname. I read that inet_aton() returns a pointer to char and not 0 on success, so that might be the reason why it won't work like the way it is momently. As my karma is insufficent for these parts, maybe someone can make the mini-fix again :-) ...maybe jason again? ...would be very kind. thx and best regards -moh -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
