note 101517 added to function.fsockopen

fsockopen(); has issues with certain ports, or programs that use certain ports, so its best to use an alternate method or a longer code than say just: <?php $serv1 = @fsockopen("www.mysite.com", 27910, $errno, $errstr, 0.25); if ($serv1){ echo '<br>Server 1 Online'; echo '<img src="images/sonline.gif" width="50" height="8" alt="Server 1 is Online">'; fclose($serv1); }else{ echo '<br>Server 1 Offline'; echo '<img src="images/soffline.gif" width="50" height="8" alt="Server 1 is Offline">'; } ?> This code will always return offline, even if teh server is online, possibly a different protocol? Or has to be treated differently to work, I noticed some ports work correctly, while others do not, even when the port is unblocked... ---- Server IP: 192.41.42.26 Probable Submitter: 99.89.163.144 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101517 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101517/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101517/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101517/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101517/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101517/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101517/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101517 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101517 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
