Udp Client Socket

[JacquesLemaire]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to write a client udp socket, but i have difficulties to understand how to do it and the documentation on Internet is

not really clear... Can somebody help me?

I haven't actually done socket programming in PHP myself, but the documentation seems to have all the information you need to get started. The first place you want to look is probably at socket_create, unless you have to code the receiver part of things too. You should be able to create an UDP socket connection like this:

 

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);

 

I did a quick Google search and found this topic that may serve as inspiration. I didn't look it through, so I cannot vouch for the quality of the article.

 

Anyways, a good starting point would be the first link I posted, so here it is again:

Good luck!
