socket_get_option

SO_DEBUG

Reports whether debugging information is being recorded.

int

SO_BROADCAST

Reports whether transmission of broadcast messages is supported.

int

SO_REUSEADDR

Reports whether local addresses can be reused.

int

SO_KEEPALIVE

Reports whether connections are kept active with periodic transmission of messages. If the connected socket fails to respond to these messages, the connection is broken and processes writing to that socket are notified with a SIGPIPE signal.

int

SO_LINGER

Reports whether the socket lingers on socket_close() if data is present. By default, when the socket is closed, it attempts to send all unsent data. In the case of a connection-oriented socket, socket_close() will wait for its peer to acknowledge the data. If l_onoff is non-zero and l_linger is zero, all the unsent data will be discarded and RST (reset) is sent to the peer in the case of a connection-oriented socket. On the other hand, if l_onoff is non-zero and l_linger is non-zero, socket_close() will block until all the data is sent or the time specified in l_linger elapses. If the socket is non-blocking, socket_close() will fail and return an error.

array. The array will contain two keys: l_onoff and l_linger.

SO_OOBINLINE

Reports whether the socket leaves out-of-band data inline.

int

SO_SNDBUF

Reports the size of the send buffer.

int

SO_RCVBUF

Reports the size of the receive buffer.

int

SO_ERROR

Reports information about error status and clears it.

int (cannot be set by socket_set_option())

SO_TYPE

Reports the socket type (e.g. SOCK_STREAM).

int (cannot be set by socket_set_option())

SO_DONTROUTE

Reports whether outgoing messages bypass the standard routing facilities.

int

SO_RCVLOWAT

Reports the minimum number of bytes to process for socket input operations.

int

SO_RCVTIMEO

Reports the timeout value for input operations.

array. The array will contain two keys: sec which is the seconds part on the timeout value and usec which is the microsecond part of the timeout value.

SO_SNDTIMEO

Reports the timeout value specifying the amount of time that an output function blocks because flow control prevents data from being sent.

array. The array will contain two keys: sec which is the seconds part on the timeout value and usec which is the microsecond part of the timeout value.

SO_SNDLOWAT

Reports the minimum number of bytes to process for socket output operations.

int

TCP_NODELAY

Reports whether the Nagle TCP algorithm is disabled.

int

MCAST_JOIN_GROUP

Joins a multicast group. (added in PHP 5.4)

array with keys "group", specifying a string with an IPv4 or IPv6 multicast address and "interface", specifying either an interface number (type int) or a string with the interface name, like "eth0". 0 can be specified to indicate the interface should be selected using routing rules. (can only be used in socket_set_option())

MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP

Leaves a multicast group. (added in PHP 5.4)

array. See MCAST_JOIN_GROUP for more information. (can only be used in socket_set_option())

MCAST_BLOCK_SOURCE

Blocks packets arriving from a specific source to a specific multicast group, which must have been previously joined. (added in PHP 5.4)

array with the same keys as MCAST_JOIN_GROUP, plus one extra key, source, which maps to a string specifying an IPv4 or IPv6 address of the source to be blocked. (can only be used in socket_set_option())

MCAST_UNBLOCK_SOURCE

Unblocks (start receiving again) packets arriving from a specific source address to a specific multicast group, which must have been previously joined. (added in PHP 5.4)

array with the same format as MCAST_BLOCK_SOURCE. (can only be used in socket_set_option())

MCAST_JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP

Receive packets destined to a specific multicast group whose source address matches a specific value. (added in PHP 5.4)

array with the same format as MCAST_BLOCK_SOURCE. (can only be used in socket_set_option())

MCAST_LEAVE_SOURCE_GROUP

Stop receiving packets destined to a specific multicast group whose soure address matches a specific value. (added in PHP 5.4)

array with the same format as MCAST_BLOCK_SOURCE. (can only be used in socket_set_option())

IP_MULTICAST_IF

The outgoing interface for IPv4 multicast packets. (added in PHP 5.4)

Either int specifying the interface number or a string with an interface name, like eth0. The value 0 can be used to indicate the routing table is to used in the interface selection. The function socket_get_option() returns an interface index. Note that, unlike the C API, this option does NOT take an IP address. This eliminates the interface difference between IP_MULTICAST_IF and IPV6_MULTICAST_IF.

IPV6_MULTICAST_IF

The outgoing interface for IPv6 multicast packets. (added in PHP 5.4)

The same as IP_MULTICAST_IF.

IP_MULTICAST_LOOP

The multicast loopback policy for IPv4 packets, which determines whether multicast packets sent by this socket also reach receivers in the same host that have joined the same multicast group on the outgoing interface used by this socket. This is the case by default. (added in PHP 5.4)

int (either 0 or 1). For socket_set_option() any value will be accepted and will be converted to a boolean following the usual PHP rules.

IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP

Analogous to IP_MULTICAST_LOOP, but for IPv6. (added in PHP 5.4)

int. See IP_MULTICAST_LOOP.

IP_MULTICAST_TTL

The time-to-live of outgoing IPv4 multicast packets. This should be a value between 0 (don't leave the interface) and 255. The default value is 1 (only the local network is reached). (added in PHP 5.4)

int between 0 and 255.

IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS

Analogous to IP_MULTICAST_TTL, but for IPv6 packets. The value -1 is also accepted, meaning the route default should be used. (added in PHP 5.4)

int between -1 and 255.
