Unix Domain: Unix and UDG

unix:// since PHP 3, udg:// since PHP 5

unix:///tmp/mysock
udg:///tmp/mysock

unix:// provides access to a socket stream connection in the Unix domain. udg:// provides an alternate transport to a Unix domain socket using the user datagram protocol.

Unix domain sockets, unlike Internet domain sockets, do not expect a port number. In the case of fsockopen() the portno parameter should be set to 0.

To open a unix domain socket with PHP 4.3.3 it seams to work if you call fsockopen with port less then 1 and target the path to the socket not prefixed with "unix://".

Ex:

$s = fsockopen("/tmp/socket",0);
