fsockopen()

Hi All, I am having problems with fsockopen() and wondered if anyone else has encountered this behaviour. My problem is that when connecting to an invalid domain I cannot trap the errors. I have tried setting a variable then testing the value, which prints a warning to the screen... $sck_handle = fsockopen($hostname, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout); if (!$sck_handle) { // socket could not be opened. $http_statuscode = "Error:" . $errno . "-" . $errstr; } else { ... } How can I get $errno & $errstr, are these for read/write errors rather than socket initialisation? I need to know why the socket could not be opened so I can give an appropriate error message.
