Thanks for the reply.
Yup, you understand my problem correctly :)
I am trying to run code on a server where fsockopen does work from the sites
local server where fsockopen doesn't work.
The code located on the remote server (i think that's the correct
terminology) is:
[This is the announce-connectable.inc file]
---------
<?
$sockres = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 8);
if (!$sockres)
{
$connectable = "no";
// @fclose($sockres);
}
else
{
$connectable = "yes";
@fclose($sockres);
}
@return($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr);
?>
---------
The php file on the local server that's calling it is using:
include_path="http://www.anotherserver.com/folder";
include("http://www.anotherserver.com/folder/announce-connectable.inc");
Included in that file are the variables $ip and $port. $errno and $errstr
are not passed to the .inc file as they should always be null prior to be
returned.
Am I trying to do something that PHP can't do?
TIA
