Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

STREAM_CLIENT_ASYNC_CONNECT (int): Open client socket asynchronously. This option must be used together with the STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT flag.
STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT (int): Open client socket connection. Client sockets should always include this flag.
STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT (int): Client socket should remain persistent between page loads.

STREAM_SERVER_BIND (int): Indicates that a stream should bind to the specified target. Server sockets should always include this flag.
STREAM_SERVER_LISTEN (int): Indicates that a stream bound using STREAM_SERVER_BIND flag to start listening to the socket. Connection-orientated transports (such as TCP) must use this flag, otherwise the server socket will not be enabled. Using this flag for connect-less transports (such as UDP) is an error.

STREAM_SHUT_RD (int): Disable further receptions.
STREAM_SHUT_WR (int): Disable further transmissions.
STREAM_SHUT_RDWR (int): Disable further receptions and transmissions.

STREAM_OOB (int): Process OOB (out-of-band) data.
STREAM_PEEK (int): Retrieve data from the socket, but do not consume the buffer. Subsequent calls to fread() or stream_socket_recvfrom() will see the same data.
Note: Is not a valid flag for stream_socket_sendto().

STREAM_FILTER_READ (int): Indicate that the specified filter should only be applied when reading.
STREAM_FILTER_WRITE (int): Indicate that the specified filter should only be applied when writing.
