   (PHP 4 >= 4.1.0)
   socket_bind -- Binds a name to a socket

Description

   bool socket_bind ( resource socket, string address [, int port])

   Warning

   This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the
   name of this function, and anything else documented about this
   function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use
   this function at your own risk.

   socket_bind() binds the name given in address to the socket described
   by socket, which must be a valid socket resource created with
   socket_create().

   The address parameter is either an IP address in dotted-quad notation
   (e.g. 127.0.0.1), if the socket is of the AF_INET family; or the
   pathname of a Unix-domain socket, if the socket family is AF_UNIX.

   The port parameter is only used when connecting to an AF_INET socket,
   and designates the port on the remote host to which a connection
   should be made.

   Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. The error code can be
   retrieved with socket_last_error(). This code may be passed to
   socket_strerror() to get a textual explanation of the error. Note that
   socket_last_error() is reported to return an invalid error code in
   case you are trying to bind the socket to a wrong address that does
   not belong to your Windows 9x/ME machine.

   See also socket_connect(), socket_listen(), socket_create(),
   socket_last_error() and socket_strerror().
