Specify a source address/interface to use when using fsockopen

[phiberoptick@gmail.com]

I am looking for a way to specify which IP or interface to use as the
source when calling fsockopen on a server with multiple IP's.

Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Hi Ronan,

source?
Don't you mean target?
You want to open a socket from you current machine (that runs PHP and uses
the fsockopen()) to some other (possibly the same) machine.

Did you look at www.php.net and looked up the function? I has a link to
Appendix O that contains some examples for valid targets.

It is of course also entirely possible I completely misunderstood your
question. :-)

I'm not sure you can with fsockopen; you have to go down a level to the
sockets functions: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-bind.php
