Shutdown and SOL_TCP:
<?php
$a= socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_shutdown($a, 2)
?>
PHP Warning: socket_shutdown(): unable to shutdown socket [107]: Transport endpoint is not connected
Shutdown and SOL_UDP:
<?php
$a= socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_UDP);
socket_shutdown($a, 2)
?>
PHP Warning: socket_shutdown(): unable to shutdown socket [107]: Transport endpoint is not connected
Conclusion: if you are not actually connected, shutdown will fails with socket_error = 107, Transport endpoint is not connected. This is true for both TPC and UDP connection (which is suprising, UDP being a connectionless protocol). This is true no matter the value set for the how parameter.
