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_connect - Initiates a connection on a socket

SYNOPSIS
bool socket_connect (resource $socket, string $address, [int $port]) DESCRIPTION
Initiate a connection to $address using the socket resource $socket, which must be a valid socket resource created with socket_create(3). PARAMETERS
o $socket - o $address - The $address parameter is either an IPv4 address in dotted-quad notation (e.g. 127.0.0.1) if $socket is AF_INET, a valid IPv6 address (e.g. ::1) if IPv6 support is enabled and $socket is AF_INET6 or the pathname of a Unix domain socket, if the socket fam- ily is AF_UNIX. o $port - The $port parameter is only used and is mandatory when connecting to an AF_INET or an AF_INET6 socket, and designates the port on the remote host to which a connection should be made. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. The error code can be retrieved with socket_last_error(3). This code may be passed to socket_strerror(3) to get a textual explanation of the error. Note If the socket is non-blocking then this function returns FALSE with an error Operation now in progress. SEE ALSO
