Here's an approach I have used to avoid any error messages at all -- 
presumably you could also set a flag in the error handler to indicate 
what happened, if you need that.

        .....

        $olderr = error_reporting(0);
        set_error_handler("ignoreerrhandler");
        $fp = fsockopen(.....)
        restore_error_handler();
        error_reporting($olderr);
        if ($fp) {
                [worked]
        } else {
                [failed]
        }
        .....

        function ignoreerrhandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
                return;
        }
