Note Submitter: david.rensonnet@swing.be ---- Just commenting the above example about using fclose at the end.. >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, $errstr, 10)) >{ >echo "FTP server in online"; *** Why not put here something like "fclose($fp);" :-) *** >}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
