RE: [PHP] fsockopen and games

If I am not mistaken... (and I could be) PHP fsock functions are TCP only... And Quake servers (and HalfLife) work off UDP connections. So that is why it works in PERL but not PHP... Wait until you try to do a SSL connection with PHP... I knew there was a reason I hadn't uninstalled PERL yet. :-) Tom Walsh http://www.designgeek.com > > I tried to connect to a Quakeserver with sth like: > fsockopen("195.3.85.228","27016", &$errno, &$errstr, 30); > > But it dosnt work and iam getting the msg: "Bad file descriptor". > > Can anyone help me? > > > MFG SMINTMAN > > PS: it works with perl like: > $Downlink=IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>$_[0],Proto=>'udp') >
