Description:
------------
I passed this option
$options = array('socket' => array('bindto' => '10.1.14.1:9000'));
into 
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$fp = @$openfunc($this->addr, $this->port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout, $context);
Which caused my program to stop connecting all together.
The ip and port are valid.

Expected result:
----------------
Pear Socket.php has a place for options to be passed in, so I thought it would bind

Actual result:
--------------
Could never connect to remote machine

Remove the @ from the function call and post the error you get (if any).
And make sure your 10.1.14.1 is *your* IP and port #9000 is not blocked by a firewall (or better just turn off any firewalls/filters).

<b>Warning</b>:  fsockopen() expects at most 5 parameters, 6 given in <b>/home/home/virtualhosts/trendex/lib/Net/Socket4.php</b> on line <b>133</b><br />

Pear's Socket.php contain the following in its connect function.   The must have wrote this assuming fsockopen would accept options one day.

$openfunc = $this->persistent ? 'pfsockopen' : 'fsockopen';
$errno = 0;
$errstr = '';
if ($options && function_exists('stream_context_create')) {
if ($this->timeout) {
$timeout = $this->timeout;
} else {
$timeout = 0;
}
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$fp = $openfunc($this->addr, $this->port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout, $context);
} else {
if ($this->timeout) {
$fp = $openfunc($this->addr, $this->port, $errno, $errstr, $this->timeout);
} else {
$fp = $openfunc($this->addr, $this->port, $errno, $errstr);
}
}

The error message is quite descriptive - (p)fsockopen() doesn't even have such parameter.
See http://php.net/fsockopen
No bug here.
