Hi I'm trying to listen to port 119 with a socket connection. The script looks like this: It works fine until this line "if(($ac=accept_connect($sock))<0){" Thats where the problem is, it never accepts a connection it just keeps on running. <? $sock = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); $bin = bind($sock, '127.0.0.1', '119'); $lis = listen($sock, 4); echo strerror($sock). "<BR>"; echo strerror($bin) . "<BR>"; echo strerror($lis). "<BR>"; if(($ac=accept_connect($sock))<0){ echo strerror($ac). "<BR>"; } else { $str =''; echo $ac; $re =read($ac, $str, 10000); } echo strerror($re) . "<BR>"; echo $re . "<BR>"; ?> thanks Shimon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
