socket_getsockname  -  Queries	the local side of the given socket which may either result in host/port or in a Unix filesystem path, dependent on
its type

SYNOPSIS
bool socket_getsockname (resource $socket, string &$addr, [int &$port])
DESCRIPTION
Note socket_getsockname(3) should not be used with AF_UNIX sockets created with socket_connect(3). Only sockets created with socket_accept(3) or a primary server socket following a call to socket_bind(3) will return meaningful values.
PARAMETERS
o $socket - A valid socket resource created with socket_create(3) or socket_accept(3). o $addr - If the given socket is of type AF_INET or AF_INET6, socket_getsockname(3) will return the local IP address in appropriate nota- tion (e.g. 127.0.0.1 or fe80::1) in the $address parameter and, if the optional $port parameter is present, also the associated port. If the given socket is of type AF_UNIX, socket_getsockname(3) will return the Unix filesystem path (e.g. /var/run/dae- mon.sock) in the $address parameter. o $port - If provided, this will hold the associated port.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. socket_getsockname(3) may also return FALSE if the socket type is not any of AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNIX, in which case the last socket error code is not updated.
