Connecting via fsockopen & visitors comp.

ppera

Connection to WEB sites via fsockopen works fine from my computer.
But it works not from site host, probably because they not allow it - to limit traffic.

So I try to workaround it, and use visitors connection to get desired pages. I tried to connect to visitors computer via fsockopen, port 80, but it works not. Is it possible at all, or it is only for servers? Maybe I use wrong port address?

Or I should do it with some Javascript code, and perform checkings complete in visitors browser?

The visitor's computer doesn't have a server running (not likely anyway), so you can't use fsockopen to connect to it.

I don't know what you're trying to do, but JavaScript doesn't allow you to use sockets.

Thanx Diego.

What I want is to check user input for correctness. So I need to get foreign WEB page into PHP script as variable. As I said it works fine from my machine. I just checked it at free.fr host and there also works.
My payed host obviously has some limitations with fsockopen...

Maybe I will solve it with redirect to free.fr and from there redirect back with check results.
