FN-FORUM: php fsockopen issue

date posted 2nd August 2007 14:21

Hi all,

I am having some headaches with the fsockopen PHP function.

basically a page on a website hosted on server A calls a function that
uses fsockopen to pass data to server B.
until yesterday evening it all worked fine.
now it always gives me error 110, connection timed out.

I used the exact same code on a website hosted on C to connect to
server B, and it all works well.

I tried to pass data to a different server D from the original website
hosted on A. and it works.
I then tried to to connect to server B from another website hosted on
A and I get the same error message.

So all of a sudden any attempt to open a socket connection between
webserver A and server B fails with a connection timed out error.

For the time being I am using a different method to get the same
results, so the issue is not mission critical, however I would really
like to get the bottom of this.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks
Paolo.
