 ===== 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.
  
 ===== Proposal ===== ===== Proposal =====
-The implementation[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.+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.
