The output from this second server needs to be processed prior to sending it to the original caller. >Can this be done in php? What on earth is "calling another http server"? If you mean you need to get data from an HTTP server, yes, PHP can do that. Easily. See fopen() in the manual at www.php.net >Also I need to open two sockets, one as the server side and one as the client side. These are talking to an image server requesting an image, then accepting it. This actually follows the FTP protocol. Can this also be done in php. Yes, PHP can do this too. See the manual under FTP functions. The manual is a wonderful thing. -- O.
