TCP/IP with PHP

[Anon]

Hi

Is it possible to send and receive data from a PHP script directly through TCP/IP? This way, it would be possible to control/check a distant computer through the script (and through the webpage the script is in). The main target for me is to control a computerchip from within a browser window (showing a PHP page).

Thanx

Of course it is. Check out the documentation under "Network Functions". You can use either the "fopen", etc functions or the low-level socket functions if you compiled PHP with "--enable-sockets".
