fsockopen Not Working

[nic9]

I am trying to use fsockopen() in PHP and But it's giving me an error. I have tried it on both Windows IIS and Linux redhad 7.3 but both are unable to connect to any URL.

$fp = fsockopen("http://www.abc.com/a.php", "80");

as soon as this code executes it gives me following error:

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (is your IPV6 configuration correct? If this error happens all the time, try reconfiguring PHP using --disable-ipv6 option to configure) on line 3

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to http://www.abc.com/a.php:80 on line 3

Please tell me why this error is comming........

Because you're not supposed to give it a URL, you're supposed to give it a host name. www.abc.com in this case. Once the socket is open, then you can start sending http requests and getting back responses.

Now I run the code with host neme but still it's not working

$fp = fsockopen("http://www.abc.com", "80");

and giving the same error. I wanna tell you that Safe mode is also off.

That's because you're still trying to use a URL instead of a hostname - www.abc.com in this case.

See the [man]fsockopen[/man] manual page for examples.
