Re: UDP support?

Okay, thanks for the speedy reply. After some further investigation using php4 rc1 I've been able to send a udp packet successfully (perhaps not totally disabled?). I did read through the bug reports, someone saying that it is not binary safe, from the looks of it I think only the bug status itself was suspended. Since the packet sending worked, lets assume the rest of the code you put in is still active. The service I am trying to get a response from replies on a different port from the one you sent from, always the same port number though. To 'listen' on this port do I simply use another fsockopen, same ip address but with the port as the port to listen to and consequently fread from the resulting resource id?
