Hi how do you use socket_create with an ssl server

ie I would do something like

$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_bind($sock, $sourceip);
socket_connect($sock, 'server.com', 2043);

but if I do

$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_bind($sock, $sourceip);
socket_connect($sock, 'ssl://server.com', 2043);

I get Warning: socket_connect(): Host lookup failed [-10001]: Unknown host

Where do I need to add the ssl://

Hi,
before test your sample program, please check the name
"ssl://server.com" from any DNS server that, the name is really
present in internet or not. Your problem is basically name resolution
error from DNS server. To check the name, apply "host" command from
unix/linux terminal.

Another point is...as I know the url of ssl encripted page starts
with "https://" not with "ssl://"...!!!

The sockets extension is a much "lower" level interface to sockets
than the fsockets/stream_ functions in PHP.

Unlike with the aforementioned, with the sockets extension, you can't
just expect to magically get an ssl connection by using "ssl://".

Your problem is that the sockets extension has no idea what you mean
by "ssl://"; and since "ssl://foo" is clearly not a valid domain name,
resolution fails.

Short Answer: use fsockets if you need SSL

Is it possible to do this with CURL instead of the socket functions

$bindip = 'xx.xx.xx.xx';
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_bind($sock, $bindip);
socket_connect($sock, 'ssl://epp.server.com', 80);

ie bind an IP and connect to an ssl:// address

Trying to connect via the IP instead of ssl://epp.server.com fails.

Thanks
