Re: FN-FORUM: php fsockopen issue

date posted 2nd August 2007 14:54

Hi Paolo,

Never tried fsockopen myself, but any luck if you increase timeout limit?
Im using "curl" (http://uk2.php.net/curl) to pass and get data from
other server.

Is server B managed by someone else? Might be an issue of blocking
traffic from server A to B.
