socket_set_option
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
socket_set_option — Sets socket options for the socket
Description
The socket_set_option() function sets the option specified by the optname parameter, at the specified protocol level, to the value pointed to by the optval parameter for the socket.
Parameters
- socket
- 
      A valid socket resource created with socket_create() or socket_accept(). 
- level
- 
      The level parameter specifies the protocol level at which the option resides. For example, to retrieve options at the socket level, a level parameter of SOL_SOCKET would be used. Other levels, such as TCP, can be used by specifying the protocol number of that level. Protocol numbers can be found by using the getprotobyname() function. 
- optname
- 
      The available socket options are the same as those for the socket_get_option() function. 
- optval
- 
      The option value. 
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

}
if (!socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)) {
    echo 'Unable to set option on socket: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL;
}
if (!socket_bind($socket, '127.0.0.1', 1223)) {
    echo 'Unable to bind socket: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL;

    echo 'Unable to get socket option: '. socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . PHP_EOL;
} else if ($rval !== 0) {
    echo 'SO_REUSEADDR is set on socket !' . PHP_EOL;
}
