I'm trying to open a socket to post data to an external site. Specifically, it will be posting securely to a payment processing site. To test the function I wrote, I'm having it post without ssl to the same domain that the script is on.

I'm getting the 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) in /pathtofile/authorizenet.inc on line 34

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to :80 in /pathtofile/authorizenet.inc on line 34

Any ideas?

    try something like this

    $fp = fsockopen ("domainname", portno, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);
$data = "Form Data";
if (!$fp)
{
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
}
else
{
fwrite($fp,$data);
$response = fgets ($fp,2048);
}

    Good Luck

      unfortunately, your suggestion doesn't help. thaks anyway.

      my code already looks like this:
      (I should have posted it in the op)

      //open socket connection
$handle = fsockopen($form_details['form_action'], $form_details['port']);
if ( !$handle ){
	return(-1);
}//end if

//send the data
fputs($handle,$post_header);

// get the response
while (!feof($handle)){
	$result .= fread($handle,32000);
}//end while

//close socket
fclose($handle);

      and the error on fsockopen still stands.
