Synopsis
resource fsockopen(stringhost
, intport
[, interror
[, stringmessage
[, floattimeout
]]])
Opens a TCP or UDP connection to a remote
host
on a specific
port
. By default, TCP is used; to connect
via UDP, host
must begin with the protocol
udp://
. If specified,
timeout
indicates the length of time in
seconds to wait before timing out.
If the connection is successful, a virtual file pointer is
returned, which can be used with
functions such as fgets()
and fputs()
. If the connection fails, false
is returned. If error
and
message
are supplied, they are set to the
error number and error string, respectively.
