int socket_sendto ( resource socket, string buf, int len, int flags, string addr [, int port] )

The function socket_sendto() sends len bytes from buf through the socket socket to the port at the address addr.

Parameters

socket

A valid socket ressource created using socket_create().

buf

The sent data will be taken from buffer buf.

len

len bytes from buf will be sent.

flags

The value of flags can be any combination of the following flags, joined with the binary OR (|) operator.
