Making a socks proxy using PHP

Question

Using ssh, I can use another computer as a proxy, for ex.

$ssh -D 9999 username@ip-address-of-ssh-server

Now, I can configure my application to use socks proxy on port 9999 at the above given up address.

If I own a web server, can i make a php script which also listens from connections on a particular port (preferably access provided through password)?

Have you looked into projects like PHProxy? I can't really tell if that's what you're after, though.

Here's a link to the abovementioned: http://sourceforge.net/projects/poxy/
