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 ;) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
