Description

The socket_send of Sockets for PHP sends data to a connected socket.

Syntax

socket_send(
    Socket $socket,
    string $data,
    int $length,
    int $flags
): int|false

Parameters

socket

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

data

A buffer containing the data that will be sent to the remote host.

length

The number of bytes that will be sent to the remote host from data.

flags

The value of flags can be any combination of the following flags, joined with the binary OR (|) operator.

Constant	Description
MSG_OOB	Send out-of-band data.
MSG_EOR	Indicate a record mark. The sent data completes the record.
MSG_EOF	Close the sender side of the socket and include an appropriate notification of this at the end of the sent data. The sent data completes the transaction.
MSG_DONTROUTE	Bypass routing, use direct interface.

Return

Returns the number of bytes sent, or false on error.
