hi james,
thanks for your reply ..
i was able to connect ( i should have written that in the email) its
getting the info to flush to the screen that i cant do .. it just hangs..
so if you add
something like
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
to the end
you get nothing..
...
herein lies my second sleepless day..
i have been tyring to use the sockets() functions which have been
added.. but they are badly documented and extremely unfriendly..
how did you manage to interact with your telnet server?
cheers
brendan
