<?php

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Socket')
$socket = new COM("Chilkat.Socket");

// Connect to some host:port
$ssl = 0;
$maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
$port = 5555;
$success = $socket->Connect('test.com',$port,$ssl,$maxWaitMillisec);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// We wish to send a 0x00 byte followed by the us-ascii string "10800"
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.BinData')
$bd = new COM("Chilkat.BinData");

$bd->AppendByte(0);
$bd->AppendString('10800','utf-8');

// Send the entire contents of bd.
$success = $socket->SendBd($bd,0,0);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}
