Help with sockets needed

[artemio@kdemail.net]

Hello all!

I need some help with sockets. I have this code:

$Connection = fsockopen( "google.com ", 80, $ErrNo, $ErrStr, 30 );

if($Connection) {

echo "Connection established\n";

while(!feof($Co nnection)){

echo fgets($Connecti on, 128);

}

echo "Got some data\n";

} else {

echo "Error $ErrNo: $ErrStr\n";

}

But it never gets to output anything, it only prints "Connection
established" and then the script simply gets stuck, it never gets to
say "Got some data"...

Any help will be very appreciated.


Thanks,

Artemiy.

That is because google.com does not send anything. Only after you sent
a request will google.com respond. The fgets waits for ever for a line
from google.com.

Hello and thanks for your reply!

Oh sorry, yes, with HTTP it indeed is like this, but here is an example
for POP3:

$Connection = fsockopen( "soniccharger.c om", 110, $ErrNo, $ErrStr, 30
);

if($Connection) {

echo "Connection established\n";

while(!feof($Co nnection)){

echo fgets($Connecti on, 128);

}

echo "We got some data\n";

} else {

echo "Error $ErrNo: $ErrStr\n";

}

When I run it I get:

$ php pop3test.php
Connection established
+OK Hello there.

And then it gets stuck... :-/

Same as with your Google example, I presume. The POP3 server is awaiting
your commands.
