can't connect to any gameservers

[dezkit]

i am trying to connect to a gameserver with this code:

<?php
$open = fsockopen("74.63.192.29", 27015, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if($open){ echo "online"; }else{ echo "offline"; }
?>

but i keep getting a connection refused error,

 

but when i connect to a website like google it is perfectly fine

<?php
$open = fsockopen("www.google.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if($open){ echo "online"; }else{ echo "offline"; }
?>

 

i have spoke to my webhosting company and they said that they did open the port 27015 for me.

 

please help me, thank you.

That's because the port isn't open. To check to see if it's actually online to eliminate your code as the problem use a port checker

thank you for the reply, but i have two questions:

there are websites that can connect to the gameserver i am trying to connect to, such as http://gametiger.net/search?address=74.63.192.29%3A27015&game=all

 

and how can i succesfuly open port 27015 on my gameserver, do i have to contact the company?
