Re: [PHP4BETA] Binary for UDP?

PHP Example w/ fread(): <?php $maxlen = 1024; $default_host = "171.64.75.234"; $default_port = "28001"; $connection = fsockopen("udp://".$default_host, $default_port, &$errno, &$errstr, 5); echo "Please wait... Retrieving Info...<br>\n"; if(!$connection) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n"; } else { $msgsend = "bah"; fputs($connection, $msgsend); $msgrecv = fread($connection, $maxlen); } echo $msgrecv; fclose($connection); ?> Result: Netscape hangs on CONNECT: Host www.whatever.com contacted. Waiting for reply... and never seems to even receive the header. This is strange because it should atleast print in the browser... "Please wait... Retrieving Info..." Ian.
