[SOLVED] Sockets

[FIREBALL5]

Hi, I am trying to create sockets, and I am getting "Permission denied". I know I have the right address and port no., but it's not even willing to bind the sockets.

 

 
$addr = "69.36.243.188";
//$addr = "www.freechess.org";
$port = 23;

$mysocket = socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,SOL_TCP);
if ($mysocket === false) exit(socket_strerror(socket_last_error($mysocket))); // Gives me: Permission denied

Actually, that one doesn't give me the error, it's socket_bind.

 

$bind = socket_bind($mysocket,$addr,$port);

  if ($bind === false) exit(socket_strerror(socket_last_error($mysocket)));

If it's running under linux, you might not have permission to create a socket on port 23.  Ports <= 1024 are root only.

well, would it work with port 5000, the other port available for this website?

I don't know, why don't you try it...?

I did try port 5000.

 

ALERT: Apparently the host didn't allow socket connections, so this was why the permission was denied. As for my syntax, I'm not sure, but it was my host that was disallowing the sockets, not the code. I am going to mark this case as solved.
