fsockopen questions

[neofox]

I have this bit of code that connects to an ip and returns if its there or not

<?php

$fp = fsockopen ($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 5); 

if (!$fp)
{ 
echo "Offline"; 
} else { 
echo "Online"; 
}

?>

problem is if its not there then it shows all this

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_hostconnect: connect failed in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\index.php on line 10

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:21 in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\index.php on line 10

how can i get it to not show this??

Thanks

I remember reading that if you were to add @ to the beginning of the function it represses errors. I can't find my reference, but I think it goes:
<?php
$fp = @fsockofpen(...);
...
?>
