error with fsockopen function

[tkm]

Hello Guys,
I am trying to open a socket with server on port 443 with php's fsockopen function . I am getting error. I have increased the time-out value with no success.
What are the factors that could be generating the error? Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you on shared hosting? They may have fsockopen() disabled. If not, make sure you don't have a firewall setting disabling the connection.
