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();
$result = stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'local_cert',
$certFile);
if($passPhrase)
$result = stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'passphrase',
$passPhrase);
$result = stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer',
false);
$result = stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_host',
false);
$result = stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl',
'allow_self_signed', true);

$sock = stream_socket_client('ssl://www.somewhere.com:443',
&$errno,&$errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context);
