socket_getsockname

PHP function Edit on GitHub ✎

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Queries the local side of the given socket which may either result in host/port or in a Unix filesystem path, dependent on its type

Description

socket_getsockname(Socket $socket, string $address, int $port = null): bool
Note

socket_getsockname() should not be used with AF_UNIX sockets created with socket_connect(). Only sockets created with socket_accept() or a primary server socket following a call to socket_bind() will return meaningful values.

Parameters

socket

A Socket instance created with socket_create() or socket_accept().

address

If the given socket is of type AF_INET or AF_INET6, socket_getsockname() will return the local IP address in appropriate notation (e.g. 127.0.0.1 or fe80::1) in the address parameter and, if the optional port parameter is present, also the associated port.

If the given socket is of type AF_UNIX, socket_getsockname() will return the Unix filesystem path (e.g. /var/run/daemon.sock) in the address parameter.

port

If provided, this will hold the associated port.

Return Values

Success socket_getsockname() may also return false if the socket type is not any of AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNIX, in which case the last socket error code is not updated.

Changelog

VersionDescription
8.5.0Now retrieves the interface index and its string representation when used on an AF_PACKET family socket.
