Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 09:28:34] m dot antonini at inwind dot it Hi! When i try to open a socket connection below: $fd = pfsockopen("semarmx0034",1705); where semarmx0034 is the unix machine with apache web server ( 1.3.27 ) installed, this is the error message: Warning: pfsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolv to supplied parameters; neither nodename nor servname were passed. in /dwt/LensTools/apache_1.3.24/htdocs/prova.php on line 2 Warning: pfsockopen(): unable to connect to semarmx0034:1705 in /dwt/LensTools/apache_1.3.24/htdocs/prova.php on line 2 if I try this $fd = pfsockopen("localhost",1705); $fd is a valid Resource id and persistent connection works well. if I try this $fd = pfsockopen("134.32.141.42",1705); this is the output message: Warning: pfsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolv to supplied parameters; neither nodename nor servname were passed. in /dwt/LensTools/apache_1.3.24/htdocs/prova.php on line 2 Warning: pfsockopen(): unable to connect to 134.32.141.42:1705 in /dwt/LensTools/apache_1.3.24/htdocs/prova.php on line 2 why this function works only with "localhost" parameter in php 4.3.2RC2? I tested this function on my old php version ( 4.0.6 ) compiled on the same machine and works well with IP address Is it a unix configuration problem?
