Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

At first sight, they accept different parameters. Both of them can be used for some tasks but they are not synonyms for sure.

No, it does not "imply a bug in PHP itself",
isn't that why it says:

Package: 	Documentation problem

a difference i see is that stream_socket_client() is only available since php5.
stream_socket_client() - optional flags( conn.type: normal, async or persistent).
stream_socket_client() - no extra port-parameter, can be set in first param.
fsockopen() - seems to not support ssl in some cases
