Hi, http://php.net/stream_socket_client does not have the option to supply authentication details and how do you supply that.

is it chi-xmd your doing and do you have the API docs? as that'll tell you - if you don't let me know I have them here.

Andrew, You're going to have some real fun with this one making the tcp connection is the least of your worries, sounds very much like a raw market datafeed to me, and not a nice xml based one, a lovely raw ascii one with all the string padded unsequenced ascii joys they hold. pointed you in the right direction yesterday with the stream functions.. open client connection fwrite messages in correct format fread responses and parse them then take required actions / save. close client connection that really is everything there is to it. Good luck
