note 28487 added to function.fsockopen

I use fsockopen at my webpage to verify some services, like ftp and streaming server and such. If fsockopen can connect to the given IP+port it is a verification that the service runs. Example: if($fp = fsockopen ("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", 21, $errno, $errstr, 10)){ echo "FTP server in online"; }else{ echo "FTP server is offline"; } $fp = null; //Don't use fclose() here. If the connection was refused it will throw an error Just as an idea of how to use it. regards Kristian -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28487 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28487 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28487
