Note Submitter: kj@mendosus.org ---- 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
