socket_connect
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.
Note: If the socket is non-blocking then this function returns FALSE with an error Operation now in progress.
See also socket_bind(), socket_listen(), socket_create(), socket_last_error() and socket_strerror().
