Hi All,

Can anyone tell me the best way to avoid errors using fsockopen(). I have
tried wrapping the function call in a conditional statement, and have also
tried calling the function and then testing the return.

Example 1:
$sckHandle = fsockopen($server, 25, $errNo, $errString);
if ($sckHandle)
{
        code here...
}


Example 2:
if ($sckHandle = fsockopen($server, 25, $errNo, $errString))
{
        code here...
}

both give this error on failing to connect to a given server:

fsockopen(): unable to connect to mx3.hotmail.com:25

I was under the impression that example 2 would not trigger an error if
fsockopen() failed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Phil.
