Hi Im trying to find an alternative way to do this ...

$bindip = 'xx.xx.xx.xx'; // IP to use
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_bind($sock, $bindip);
socket_connect($sock, 'ssl://epp.server.com', 700); // connect to ssl server
$response = socket_read($socket,2046,PHP_NORMAL_READ);
echo $response;

The above does not work as the socket function does not understand ssl:// in
the destination address.
Also if I try connect at the IP it fails as the destination rejects the
connection without using the ssl://

ie using..

socket_connect($socket_handle, gethostbyname('epp.server.com'), 700)

Is it possible to do the above through Curl. Bind an IP and then connect to
ssl://epp.server.com 700 ?

Fsockopen on its own does not allow me to bind an address.

Thanks
Alan
