Example #1 socket_sendto() Example
<?php
$sock = socket_create ( AF_INET , SOCK_DGRAM , SOL_UDP );
$msg = "Ping !" ;

Does anyone have a clue if its possible to get the IP-address of the network interface that response to the broadcast command?
Cheers,

Here's how you can make an udp broadcast, useful sometimes, and does seem hard to figure out hwo to do..
<?php
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
socket_set_option($sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, 1);
socket_sendto($sock, $broadcast_string, strlen($broadcast_string), 0, '255.255.255.255', $port);
?>
