 ===== Introduction ===== ===== Introduction =====
-This RFC targets a reported feature request in [[https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72733|#72733]].  The request is that PHP expose the C level function getaddrinfo().  This is a missing nice piece to the current socket library.  When dealing with IP variable networks it would be beneficial to allow libc to tell us what methods of connecting/listening would be most appropriate given a set of hints.+This RFC targets a reported feature request in [[https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72733|#72733]].  The request is that PHP expose the C level function getaddrinfo().  This is a missing nice piece to the current socket library.  When dealing with variable networks it would be beneficial to allow libc to tell us what methods of connecting/listening would be most appropriate given a set of hints.
  
-===== Proposals ===== +===== Proposal ===== 
-I'm starting this RFC with 2 proposed solutions, which are very similar. +The implementation[[https://wiki.php.net/rfc/socket_getaddrinfo#references|[1]]] I'm proposing implements 4 new functions.  ''socket_addrinfo_lookup()'' will return an array of resources, with each resource corresponding to each returned addrinfo.  The next two implemented methods ''socket_addrinfo_bind()'', and ''socket_addrinfo_connect()'', would be used to bind, or connect, to a given resource rather than make the user go through the process of creating the socket and connect/binding themselves.  The last, ``socket_addrinfo_explain`` is to convert the resource to an array for examination.
-==== Proposal 1 ==== +
-The implementation[[https://wiki.php.net/rfc/socket_getaddrinfo#references|[1]]] I'm proposing implements 4 new socket_* functions.  ''socket_getaddrinfo()'' will return an array of resources, with each resource corresponding to each returned addrinfo sockaddr.  The next two implemented methods ''socket_addrinfo_bind()'', and ''socket_addrinfo_connect()'', would be used to bind, or connect, to a given resource rather than make the user go through the process of creating the socket and connect/binding themselves.  The fourth function is a free'r if you'd want to free the resources before end of script.+

-==== Proposal 2 ==== +IPv6 Example
-This attempt [[https://wiki.php.net/rfc/socket_getaddrinfo#references|[2]]] is very similar to the first, excep, I change ''socket_create()'' and ''socket_bind()'' to accept one argument from two, IF, that argument is our addrinfo resource. If it is our addrinfo resourece the functions, rather than a boolean return will return the resource to the bound/connected socket resource. +
