socket_connect to an ssl server

[daffy duck]

Hi I can do this easily with fsockopen ie

 

$fp = @fsockopen('ssl://epp.server.com', 700, $errno, $errstr, 100);

 

But I need to bind an IP address ie something like..

 

$bindip = 'xx.xx.xx.xx';

$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);

socket_bind($sock, $bindip);

socket_connect($sock, 'ssl://epp.server.com', 80);

 

This wont work of course as it does not know what ssl:// means.

 

Also

 

socket_connect($socket_handle, gethostbyname('epp.server.com'), 700)

 

Does not work as without the ssl its refusing to comunicate

 

 

What could I do to make this work. Can I combine fsockopen with socket_bind.
