Hi,
I've been using the sourceforge project phpffl (great project if you are into fantasy football) to set up a fantasy football league for my friends and have run into a kind of odd php problem. The guys over at phpffl tried to help but gave me a test to determine if it was just phpffl or php in general and it looks like php in general so here I am...
Here's the scoop:
there is a update that is run to get player stats for scoring (statistics.php). If I run a cron job that runs this file (php /pathname/statistics.php > stats.out) (the redirect is just so I can see some results, actual updating is in a mysql database), it works fine.
If I run the file from the browser (which the guys at phpffl says should work), a la
http://somename.com/path/statistics.php
it doesn't work. I get a sort of empty set results. Turning on more error handling for php reveals the following error:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to myffl.net:80 (Permission denied) in /var/www/html/ffl/program_files/autorun/myffl/functions/statistics_functions.php on line 55
Now, why isn't this a phpffl problem? Well, I created the following file in the same directory:
[code]<?php
ini_set("display_errors", "On");
$fp = fsockopen("www.google.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
$out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
?>
[/code]
I get the same error:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to www.google.com:80 (Permission denied) in /var/www/html/ffl/program_files/autorun/myffl/test.php on line 4
Permission denied (13)
So I guess php isn't being allowed to open a connection. I'm pretty new to fooling with php but have some knowledge about stuff otherwise.
Oh, I'm running Fedora Core 5 with pretty standard firewall/SELinux settings (ports open for HTTP, SSH, mail, TS) behind a consumer wireless router.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

allow_url_fopen is on. Any other suggestions? Here is that section of my php.ini file.
[code]
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Fopen wrappers ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Whether to allow the treatment of URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as files.
allow_url_fopen = On
; Define the anonymous ftp password (your email address)
;from="john@doe.com"
; Define the User-Agent string
; user_agent="PHP"
; Default timeout for socket based streams (seconds)
default_socket_timeout = 60
; If your scripts have to deal with files from Macintosh systems,
; or you are running on a Mac and need to deal with files from
; unix or win32 systems, setting this flag will cause PHP to
; automatically detect the EOL character in those files so that
; fgets() and file() will work regardless of the source of the file.
; auto_detect_line_endings = Off
