RE: [PHP] Why would a socket be unavailable?

There is another kind of blocking you could be running into (other than the type mentioned in the manual) and it was eluded to before. What are the odds you are going through a firewall to get to the server. Firewalls will reject attempts to connect to unauthorized sockets on protected machines.

That is why I am posting my problem here, in that hopes that someone can help. (I don't mean to be completely helpless, but I just don't yet understand blocking/non-blocking sockets, and the parameters associated, since they are not well-documented. Someone said I shouldn't complain about this-and I'm not-since the functions are marked "Experimental". But this is precisely why I'm posting the question here.) .Rene >> I just read something about sock warnings this morning.
