stream_socket_get_name — Retrieve the name of the local or remote sockets
Returns the local or remote name of a given socket connection.
The socket to get the name of.
If set to TRUE the remote socket name will be returned, if set to FALSE the local socket name will be returned.
The name of the socket.
Surprisingly, on my Linux system, when connected to a localhost service using IPV4, stream_get_socket_name returns ::1 as the peer or local address. One would expect to get localhost or 127.0.0.1 but the ::1 IPV6 localhost is returned instead.
Use this function to check current status of a connection:
<?php
$c=stream_socket_server("tcp://127.0.0.1:1100");
while(1){
if(is_resource($a=stream_socket_accept($c))){
# do something time-consuming
if(stream_socket_get_name($a,true)!==false){
fwrite($a,"Regards form Berlin");
}
}
} ?>
