Hi,
AFAIK the first parameter of the fsockopen function means the
target/host you want to connect to. Nonetheless in this case chrome.pl
is not a host. Due to this, the PHP interpreter ist not able to
establish a connection and you get the error. If chrome.pl is a host,
write it like http://www.chrome.pl.

best regards

Nico
