socket_set_option — Sets socket options for the socket

Description

socket_set_option(
    Socket $socket,
    int $level,
    int $option,
    array|string|int $value
): bool

The socket_set_option() function sets the option specified by the option parameter, at the specified protocol level, to the value pointed to by the value parameter for the socket.

Parameters

socket

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

level

The level parameter specifies the protocol level at which the option resides. For example, to set options at the socket level, a level parameter of SOL_SOCKET would be used. Other levels, such as TCP, can be used by specifying the protocol number of that level. Protocol numbers can be found by using the getprotobyname() function.

option

The available socket options are the same as those for the socket_get_option() function.

value

The option value.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

if (!is_resource($socket)) {
echo 'Unable to create socket: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL;
}

if (!socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)) {
echo 'Unable to set option on socket: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL;
