Request: Send a blank email to php-lang+get-542@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
host,port,connectiontimeout,username,password are pre DEFINEd values function connect() { $sock = @fsockopen (host, port, $errno, $errstr, connectiontimeout); if ( $sock ) { fputs($sock, username."\n"); fputs($sock, password."\n"); } return $sock; } after sending the username and password, server will check if these values are correct, if not, it'll disconnect the connection Is there a way to determine if the connection still exists after I'm sending the username and the password? thanks!
