ID: 50047 Comment by: drclue at drclue dot net Reported by: naox at o2 dot pl Summary: interface binding for fsockopen (like socket_bind) Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Network related Operating System: - PHP Version: 5.2.11 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I know this is an OLD thread to be bumping , but the missing bind facility in fsockopen() is exactly my problem today. The knee jerk thought that most people have is that one is trying to bind as a server, BUT in this use case I'm binding the client. The particular application is an ip hygiene tester for a level 3 networking company that verifies if particular source IP addresses can send mail, prior to leasing them out to corporate clients like Walmart. We do various DNS lookups to spamhaus servers , and as a final test send test mails to test email accounts we have established at the target servers of interest to the clients to verify the /24 ip ranges will indeed deliver mail. (THIS IS NOT A SPAM SYSTEM). The server I'm developing on is configured with multiple ip addresses and the application needs to bind the client socket to perform the tests. My existing mail routines use fsocket functions , so I'm having to investigate various work arounds such as making a stream wrapper just to get that bind function in there. I really don't want to recreate all the feof , fread , fgets etc. logic.

Check out http://php.net/manual/pl/function.socket-bind.php this however is for socket functions not "network" like fsockopen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-03 03:06:00] srina...@php.net is this some thing what you are looking for ? $fp = fsockopen("tcp://127.0.0.1", 8080); or $fp = fsockopen("unix:///tmp/mysocket", ..); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-01 00:26:59] naox at o2 dot pl Description: ------------ PHP really needs interface binding for fsockopen() (like socket_bind()) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50047&edit=1
