How can one ensure successful connection between a client program in C++ and a PHP server script using sockets, especially when dealing with different ports?

To ensure successful connection between a client program in C++ and a PHP server script using sockets, you need to make sure that both the client and server are using the same port number. This means specifying the same port number in both the C++ client program and the PHP server script. Additionally, ensure that the server script is listening on the specified port and that the client program is connecting to the correct IP address and port number. 

<?php
$host = '127.0.0.1'; // Server IP address
$port = 12345; // Port number

// Create socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);

// Bind socket to address and port
socket_bind($socket, $host, $port);

// Listen for connections
socket_listen($socket);

// Accept incoming connection
$connection = socket_accept($socket);

// Read data from client
$input = socket_read($connection, 1024);

// Process data
$output = "Received: " . $input;

// Send response back to client
socket_write($connection, $output, strlen($output));

// Close connection
socket_close($connection);
socket_close($socket);
?>
