How can we enable fsockopen function in PHP

To check fsock function,Open your php.ini

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Fopen wrappers ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow the treatment of URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as files.
allow_url_fopen = On (Make sure this is ON)

; Define the anonymous ftp password (your email address)
;from="abc@com"

; Default timeout for socket based streams (seconds)
default_socket_timeout = 60


With following script you can check your fsock functionalty.

vi test.php (under web server dir) Run this script...


$fp = fsockopen ("localhost", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)
\n";
}else
{
echo "connected";
}

fclose ($fp);
?>


If you get connected message ..that mean you fsock function enable.
