Sending Data thru TCP and waiting for Response? Pls Help urgent!

[Forri]

Hi All

I need to send a string to a particular server and a particular port! and for this i use:

$fp = fsockopen ("212.56.142.234",2006, $errno, $errstr, 30);

The data is sent:

fputs ($fp, $str);

The next line is:

$Result = fgets ($fp,4096);

This should receive an answer from the above connection! it should be a very simple ascii string.

At first i was using the following:

while (!feof($fp)) {
$Result = fgets ($fp,4096);
}

But this took ages and it did not work most of the times!

Then i removed the loop and left:

$Result = fgets ($fp,4096);

But that didn't work as i received a null value!

Can anyone pls, pls help me in solving this thanks!!

Are you never getting a response, or seldom getting a response?

What happens if you use telnet from the PHP-running machine to connect to the same IP and port?
