fsockopen under IIS5/win2k

intranix

For the life of me i cannot get fsockopen() to work! i'm using:

<?
$fp = fsockopen("www.php.net", 80);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
} else {
fputs ($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n");
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
}
?>

(this is the example on php.net)

it doesnt even attempt to connect, ($errno is 0) so im guessing there is some sort of coniguration needed or i need to enable something?

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance, Ad...

Don't know... first thing to try is removing the fsockopen and fputs and using:

$fp = fopen("http://www.php.net");

or some other site:

$fp = fopen("http://www.news.com");

and see if you can connect...

After trying what Dave has suggested...

Are you behind a firewall ?

That was my problem and had to use 'snoopy' to grab web pages from behind the firewall.

Now if I can just get exec() to work...

no, no firewall, this is a plain vanilla setup, with direct connection to the net :/

Yep i have the same problem.

It only occurs when trying to get a reponse from an iis5 server.
About every other thing works including talking to an Appache on various platforms, even iis4 works fine.

Ill have to keep on searching i guess. If i cant find a solution soon ill have to actualy ask micro$oft whats wrong with their win2k/iis5 setup.... yuk. :-(
