fsockopen PHP5 missing 6th argument (context)

[joel.washburn]

I've noticed that fsockopen (as of PHP 5) no longer accepts context.
How can I make an SSL connection (requiring a client cert) without
using curl?

I've found the answer!

$certFile = './yourcert.pem';
$passPhrase = 'yourpassphrase ';

$context = stream_context_ create();
$result = stream_context_ set_option($con text, 'ssl', 'local_cert',
$certFile);
if($passPhrase)
$result = stream_context_ set_option($con text, 'ssl', 'passphrase',
$passPhrase);
$result = stream_context_ set_option($con text, 'ssl', 'verify_peer',
false);
$result = stream_context_ set_option($con text, 'ssl', 'verify_host',
false);
$result = stream_context_ set_option($con text, 'ssl',
'allow_self_sig ned', true);

$sock = stream_socket_c lient('ssl://www.somewhere.c om:443',
&$errno,&$errst r, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_C ONNECT, $context);
