And I can get the php mail function to work so this is a little strange behavior.

SSL/TSL are components you install in the web server. You can't install it in php script.

>465 yields
>Permission denied (13)

I got "connection successfully" for 465. So, smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com is surely friendly to some but not others.
OK, SSL/TSL may not be present in your server. Try this code:
Test Code B
<?php

$fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com", 465, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br/>";
} else {
echo "connected successfully<br/>";
fclose($fp);
}

?>
This time, I added "ssl://" to force php to use ssl.
