It prints that only if 1 the page is ready 2 the buffer is full 3 flush is used so i suggest you do: echo "Please wait... Retrieving Info...<br>\n"; flush(); Greetz, Wico

Yes, it does work, however it is not "BINARY-SAFE". It should return binary info captured in a variable so I can plug that into unpack and read my info then display it on the screen however I

like.

I have already written a perl version and have it completed,

unfortunately

the website that will use it, absolutely refuses to use PERL. :( Thanks, Ian. Working Example: ---------------- <?php $maxlen = 1024; $default_host = "171.64.75.234"; $default_port = "28001"; $connection = fsockopen("udp://".$default_host, $default_port,

&$errno, &$errstr, 5);

if(!$connection) {

        echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";

} else {

        $msgsend = "bah";
        fputs($connection, $msgsend);
        $msgrecv = fgets($connection, $maxlen);

} fclose($connection); ?>

Why not use fread() instead? -Andrei * The best source is the source code. * -- PHP 4.0 Beta Mailing List <http://www.php.net/version4/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php4beta-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php4beta-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php4beta-admin@lists.php.net -- PHP 4.0 Beta Mailing List <http://www.php.net/version4/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php4beta-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php4beta-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php4beta-admin@lists.php.net
