Script Testing Portal Connections...

I am trying to test a Script which I got online and will modify later (its from devshed)... It fails to set up a connection... #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <? // don't timeout! set_time_limit(0); // set some variables $host = "1.2.3.4..."; $port = 1234; $command = "/usr/games/fortune"; // create socket $socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die("Could not create socket\n"); // bind socket to port $result = bind($socket, $host, $port) or die("Could not bind to socket\n"); /* start listening for connections * My Script Fails here... * Any suggestions why it fails the Socket SetUp... * Should I screw around with the port numbers? */ $result = listen($socket, 3) or die("Set up Failed!"); echo "Waiting for connections...\n";
