I have used values from 20 to 2048 but nothing is ever read. As I stated it even hangs on a simple feof($connection). It doesn't seem to want to read anything from the open socket. I ran the script against other servers where I have a POP account and it hangs opening sockets to them as well. However as I stated I can telnet to the 110 POP3 port on those servers and access the information just fine. I can also use fsockopen against an httpd server and fgets data. If I make it a non blocking socket it doesn't hand of course but it also doesn't return any data. Since I have tried to access POP servers on other hosts in other domains without success I tend to believe it is something with my version of PHP, could that be the problem. I have tried running the script on two different hosts running PHP and both of them act the same. For anyones reference I am running PHP 3.0.9 I'm totally confused. :-\ -- ==== Programming my first best destiny! ==== Michael A. Hess Miracle Concepts, Inc. mhess@miraclec.com http://www.miraclec.com
