Socket options

Hi everyone,

Question for gurus:

Is there a way for us to determine the options used by a socket?

I basically want to know if SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled on a socket to know if the tcp_keepalive_abort_interval parameter will be used by that connection.

Was I clear enough? Smilie

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. EXAMPLES
Example #1 socket_set_option(3) example <?php $socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); if (!is_resource($socket)) { echo 'Unable to create socket: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL; } if (!socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)) { echo 'Unable to set option on socket: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL; } if (!socket_bind($socket, '127.0.0.1', 1223)) { echo 'Unable to bind socket: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL; } $rval = socket_get_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR); if ($rval === false) { echo 'Unable to get socket option: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL; } else if ($rval !== 0) { echo 'SO_REUSEADDR is set on socket !' . PHP_EOL; } ?> PHP Documentation Group SOCKET_SET_OPTION(3)
