fsockopen Not Working

[donnie]

I am trying to use fsockopen() in PHP and But it's giving me an error. I have tried it on both Windows IIS and Linux redhad 7.3 but both are unable to connect to any URL.

$fp = fsockopen("http://www.abc.com/a.php", "80");

as soon as this code executes it gives me following error:


Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (is your IPV6 configuration correct? If this error happens all the time, try reconfiguring PHP using --disable-ipv6 option to configure) on line 3

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to http://www.abc.com/a.php:80 on line 3


Please tell me why this error is comming........

Change it to: $fp = @fsockopen("http://www.abc.com/a.php", "80");

Hi,

If we add '@' to that, it just hides the warning message.. Is there any real fix for it... Telnet to the same website to port 80 from the server works.. But it's not able to connect from php..

Do you have Sockets checked when you've built apache/php?

Hi,

Instead of using fsockopen, try using the CURL library.

Alternatively, upgrade your PHP version.

I copied a php.ini from another server, and it works fine now... Only difference I could note over there was the
"extension dir = ./ " in the old php.ini "

Yes Amal, it is working when I removed the "./" for the "extension_dir" from the php.ini .
