At least that seems to be what the example in the manual does. $fp = fsockopen ("www.php.net", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n"; } else { fputs ($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"); while (!feof($fp)) { echo fgets ($fp,128); } fclose ($fp); } -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Cause of crash: Inadvertent contact with the ground.
