I would start by reading the relevant page:
http://php.net/socket_write
after reading that your first attempt will probably be this
(you may have complication is your using a multibyte charset):
socket_write($client, $yresponse, strlen($yresponse));
if that doesn't work, you will be looking at capturing the return value
of socket_write() in order to determine how many bytes were sent ...
this information will allow to to use a loop to call socket_write as many times
as is required to send all the data. hope that makes sense to you.
