SOCKET_SET_OPTION(3)							 1						      SOCKET_SET_OPTION(3)

socket_set_option - Sets socket options for the socket

SYNOPSIS

       bool socket_set_option (resource  $socket, int  $level, int  $optname, mixed  $optval)

DESCRIPTION

	The  socket_set_option(3)  function  sets  the	option specified by the $optname parameter, at the specified protocol $level, to the value
       pointed to by the $optval parameter for the $socket.

PARAMETERS

	      o $socket
		- A valid socket resource created with socket_create(3) or socket_accept(3).

	      o $level
		- The $level parameter specifies the protocol level at which the option resides. For example, to retrieve options  at  the  socket
		level, a $level parameter of SOL_SOCKET would be used. Other levels, such as TCP, can be used by specifying the protocol number of
		that level. Protocol numbers can be found by using the getprotobyname(3) function.

	      o $optname
		- The available socket options are the same as those for the socket_get_option(3) function.

	      o $optval
		- The option value.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
