Sockets.......

[Anon]

Hello, i want to do an script that can do a telnet-like interface using sockets (send/receive data), i've been looking for a tutorial in php.net and i found an example about what im looking for, but it doesn't work, could you tell me how to do something like telnet myhost 7770 using sockets?? if you have an example it would be much better for me...

Thank you since now..

Hi,

Many great things are found in the manual. This for example in function.fsockopen.html

$fp = fsockopen ("www.php.net", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
} else {
fputs ($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
}

This of course covers HTTP, but adapting it for Telnet should be simple.
