Description
bool
socket_connect ( resource socket, string address [, int port] )
Initiates a connection using the socket resource
socket, which must be a valid socket
resource created with socket_create().
The address parameter is either an IP
address in dotted-quad notation
(e.g. 127.0.0.1), if the socket is of the
AF_INET family; or the pathname of a
Unix domain socket, if the socket family is
AF_UNIX.
The port parameter is only used when
connecting to an AF_INET socket, and
designates the port on the remote host to which a connection
should be made.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. The error code can be retrieved with
socket_last_error(). This code may be passed to
socket_strerror() to get a textual explanation of the
error.
