Sockets, PHP, local port

I'm writing a PHP-based client using sockets for an existing system.

Implementing the protocol is basically working, but for the next step I need to know the local port, on which the socket is created.

On the server I have the following output: Socket[addr=/Client-IP,port=40546,localport=1338]

For communication to work, I need to get the port 40546 (or whatever it is when connecting). Sadly it is NOT possible to change the protocol for various reasons.

Thanks in advcance

EDIT (Code snippet):

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_connect($socket, 192.168.0.12, 1338);
// Need to know local socket port (e.g. 40546)
$socketport = ??????
$message = "somestring";
$message = $protocol->encode($message, $socketport);
socket_write($socket, $message, strlen($message));

This is basically what it is. I need to know the port on the clientside, AFTER creating and connecting the socket, meaning there's no need to set it manually.

I found out a function in php.net.I think this works for you.

socket_getsockname($socket, $ip, $port);
echo "ip: ".$ip;
echo "port: ".$port;

Here $ip gives you the local addr and $port gives you a local port no.
