[SOLVED] fsockopen problem

[Mr.n]

Dear all,

 

I have 2 webservers running apache+php... i developped a script from the server side to accept requests coming from the other server. when i try this script through the web browser it's working but when i try to invoke this script through php code nothing happen !!

 

here is the code:

 

    $connection = fsockopen($host,80,&$error_number,&$error_desc,30);
     if($connection)
    {
       fputs($connection, "GET $URL HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n");
       $ok = true;
    }

 

 

Thank you,

PHP user probably doesn't have permission to open sockets on your system.

[Mr.n]

you mean the apache user? anyway how can grant the appropriate permission? it's the first time i use this function.

 

Thanks

[Mr.n]

it's seems that the socket is sucessfully created because the condition if($connection) evaluate to true. so any idea ? what might me the problem?

[keeB]

From the manual:

 

<?php
$fp = fsockopen($host, 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);
}
?>

[Mr.n]

i tried this as it appears in the manual but still now success. do you think changing the port number to > 1024 will fix this?

[keeB]

the else is being executed?

[Mr.n]

no the else isn't executed. but it worked nows it's seems a / was added by mistake Thanks anyway. the manual example solves the problem

[keeB]

Yeah I bet there was just a problem using fputs. This is the area where PHP really gets messy.

 

Glad it's working now!
