pfsockopen
Synopsis
mixed pfsockopen(host, port[,
error_number][, error_string][, timeout]);
string host: Hostname or IP
address
int port: Port number
reference error_number
(optional): Reference to a variable that will store the
system-level error number if the function fails
reference error_string
(optional): Reference to a variable that will store the
system-level error message if the function fails
double timeout (optional):
Number of seconds before the connect system call times
out
Description
pfsockopen() attempts to open a persistent connection to a network socket on the specified host and port. This function differs from fsockopen() only in that the connection is not closed after the script finishes; the connection can therefore be reused by other script instances running in the same PHP process. TCP connections are assumed by default, but UDP connections can be specified by placing udp:// at the start of the host .
There are three optional arguments: error_number , error_string , and timeout . Both the error_number and error_string arguments must be passed as references, as in &$error_numberand&$error_string. If an error occurs, these variables will contain an error code and message. If the error number is 0, this is usually due to a problem that occurs before the socket initializes, such as an incorrect hostname.
The timeout argument should contain the maximum number of seconds to wait for the connection to open.
Example
Example 844. Attempt to open a persistent connection to a socket
<?php
$host = 'www.google.com';
$port = 80;
$fp = pfsockopen($host, $port, &$err_no, &$err_msg, 10)
or die ("Could not open a connection to host <i>$host</i> on port <i>$port</i>.
The error message returned was '<i>$err_msg</i>'.");
echo "A persistent connection to host <i>$host</i> on port <i>$port</i> was successfully opened."
?>
