note 50357 added to function.fsockopen

here are some fixes to code by edwin at bitstorm dot org they might seem silly, but still useful in some cases <?php function fetchURL( $url ) { $url_parsed = parse_url($url); $host = $url_parsed["host"]; $port = $url_parsed["port"]; if ($port==0) $port = 80; $path = $url_parsed["path"]; //if url is http://example.com without final "/" //I was getting a 400 error if (empty($path)) $path="/"; //redirection if url is in wrong format if (empty($host)): $host="www.somesite.com"; $path="/404.shtml"; endif; if ($url_parsed["query"] != "") $path .= "?".$url_parsed["query"]; $out = "GET $path HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $host\r\n\r\n"; $fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30); fwrite($fp, $out); $body = false; while (!feof($fp)) { echo fgets($fp, 128); } fclose($fp); return $in; } fetchURL($address); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50357 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50357&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50357&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50357&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50357&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50357&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50357&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
