Surprisingly, on my Linux system, when connected to a localhost service using IPV4, stream_get_socket_name returns ::1 as the peer or local address. One would expect to get localhost or 127.0.0.1 but the ::1 IPV6 localhost is returned instead.

Use this function to check current status of a connection:
<?php
$c=stream_socket_server("tcp://127.0.0.1:1100");
while(1){
if(is_resource($a=stream_socket_accept($c))){
# do something time-consuming
if(stream_socket_get_name($a,true)!==false){
fwrite($a,"Regards form Berlin");
}
}
} ?>
