fopen on another port

[Anon]

Quick question, I am reading in a file from a http address, but i need it off of another port other then 80

$file = fopen("http://208.20.165.122/club977.htm", "r");

works fine.. but i get an error when i do this

$file = fopen("http://161.58.175.241:2000/index.html", "r");

Warning: fopen("http://161.58.175.241:2000/index.html","r") - Undefined error: 0

how do i get information off of another port?

Thanx!

Hmm, what you've given works for me with my server (i have webmin running on port 10000). I checked out http://161.58.175.241:2000/index.html. I don't think anything is running on that server.

Anyway, here is a longer (but surer) way to do it:

$contents = "";
$sd = fsockopen("161.58.175.241", 2000, &$errno, &$errstr);
if(!sd)
{
echo "Error $errno: $errstr";
fclose($resultfile);
exit();
} else {
fputs($sd, "GET index.html HTTP/1.0\n\n");
while(!feof($sd))
{
$contents .= fgets($sd, 1024);
}
}

print $contents;

Okay, this will return you the document, but with HTTP headers. But you method should work..... here, try to open: http://www.texturedigital.com:10000/ using fopen and even if THAT doesn't work, then try the second method of directly connecting to the server using socket functions.

hope this helps,
