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

$http = new Http();

// Using a SOCKS5 proxy is just a matter of setting a few properties.
// Once these properties are set, all other coding is the same as when
// the connection is direct to the HTTP server.

// Set the SocksVersion property = 5 for SOCKS5
$http->SocksVersion = 5;

// Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address,
// which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
$http->SocksHostname = '192.168.1.100';

// The port where the SOCKS5 proxy is listening.
$http->SocksPort = 1080;

// If the SOCKS5 proxy itself requires authentication, set the username/password
// like this.  (otherwise leave the username/password empty)
$http->SocksUsername = 'myUsername';
$http->SocksPassword = 'myPassword';

// Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
