Re: [PHP] fsockopen to own server
Thanks for your (and everyone else's) help so far. I've given up on this. Got another one off the web which uses pop3 and mail() to achieve the same thing. Thanks anyway Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm willing to sacrifice young lambs at this stage. Okay, pull out ethereal and netstat -a to see what connections are being tried/attempted/whatever. Maybe even tcpdump to see what is going back and forth. If all else fails, here's a TOTAL HACK: Write a PHP script on some other server that connects back to the first server and opens the socket and does whatever you need it to do. Now have your script connect to the other server and use its sockets to do what you need. This is clearly *NOT* a Good Idea for a long-term solution, but could get you past this hump long enough to survive, and maybe even make you realize just why the same-machine system doesn't work. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What you got in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny?... Or any kind of other anti-bad-guy technology?... Does it work if you use 127.0.0.1 for the IP/URL? How about the actual IP of the machine? localhost?

This is actually the opposite of what is happening. It will work on the remote server but not the local one. I've tried using unix:// and it made no difference.

[PHP] fsockopen to own server
Hello. I'm having a problem with fsockopen and was wondering has anyone ever noticed a case where it will work from machine1 (dev machine) to machine2.
