<para>
Initiates a stream connection in the Internet (AF_INET, using TCP
or UDP) or Unix (AF_UNIX) domain. For the Internet domain, it
will open a TCP socket connection to
<parameter>hostname</parameter> on port
<parameter>port</parameter>. <parameter>hostname</parameter> may
in this case be either a fully qualified domain name or an IP
address. For UDP connections, you need to explicitly specify the
protocol by prefixing <parameter>hostname</parameter> with
'<literal>udp://</literal>'. For the Unix domain,
<parameter>hostname</parameter> will be used as the path to the
socket, <parameter>port</parameter> must be set to 0 in this
case. The optional <parameter>timeout</parameter> can be used to
set a timeout in seconds for the connect system call.
</para>
<para>
As of PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled in OpenSSL support, you may
prefix the <parameter>hostname</parameter> with either
'<literal>ssl://</literal>' or '<literal>tls://</literal>' to
use an SSL or TLS client connection over TCP/IP to connect
to the remote host.
</para>
<para>
<function>fsockopen</function> returns a file pointer which may
be used together with the other file functions (such as
<function>fgets</function>, <function>fgetss</function>,
<function>fputs</function>, <function>fclose</function>, and
<function>feof</function>).
</para>
<para>
If the call fails, it will return &false; and if the optional
<parameter>errno</parameter> and <parameter>errstr</parameter>
arguments are present they will be set to indicate the actual
system level error that occurred in the system-level
<literal>connect()</literal> call. If the value returned in
<parameter>errno</parameter> is <literal>0</literal> and the
function returned &false;, it is an indication that the error
occurred before the <literal>connect()</literal> call. This is
most likely due to a problem initializing the socket. Note that
the <parameter>errno</parameter> and
<parameter>errstr</parameter> arguments will always be passed by
reference.
</para>
<para>
Depending on the environment, the Unix domain or the optional
connect timeout may not be available.
</para>
<para>
The socket will by default be opened in blocking mode. You can
switch it to non-blocking mode by using
<function>socket_set_blocking</function>.
<example>
<title><function>fsockopen</function> Example</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$fp = fsockopen ("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);

fputs ($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.example.com\r\n\r\n");
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
}

<para>
Because PHP's integer type is signed, and many IP addresses will
result in negative integers, you need to use the "%u" formatter of
<function>sprintf</function> or <function>printf</function> to get
the string representation of the unsigned IP address.

<para>
<function>syslog</function> generates a log message that will be
distributed by the system logger.
<parameter>priority</parameter> is a combination of the facility
and the level, values for which are given in the next section.
The remaining argument is the message to send, except that the
two characters <literal>%m</literal> will be replaced by the
error message string (strerror) corresponding to the present
value of <errortype>errno</errortype>.
