How to open PHP socket onto some URL? (like www.ex.com:开发者_高级运维8080/mySock/)

You can use:

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_connect($socket, gethostbyname("www.ex.com"), 8080);

but are you sure you actually want a direct socket? If you clarify what you're actually doing, odds are PHP has some better way to accomplish it
