Here's the simple script that will do the trick! This is what I use with
Equifax before I start using cURL. You can substitute the "HOSTNAME",
"HOSTPORT" for something else.
--clip--
<?
$errno = 0;
$errstr= "";
$socket = fsockopen(HOSTNAME,HOSTPORT,&$errno,&$errstr,30);
if(!$socket || $errno) {
logAction($errno,$errstr);
echo "Could Not Connect to Equifax !!!!<br>";
return 0;
}
$senddata = $headerstr;
$senddata .= $sendstr;
$senddatalen = strlen($senddata);
fwrite($socket,sprintf("%06d",$senddatalen),6);
fwrite($socket,$senddata,$senddatalen);
list($code,$inqdata) = getResponse($socket);
if(!$code) {
logAction(-2,"Break Up\n");
echo "Error Communicating With Equifax !!!!<br>";
fclose($socket);
return 0;
}
fclose($socket);
?>
