Dear Gurus,
i have a program in php that uses php to send fsockopen to connect to a site. when i run the program on the terminal, it works fine but when i run it via the browser, connection to failed. what could be the problem
function XML_request($site, $location, $data, $agent,$auth){
$response = "";
$site = explode(':', $site);
if(isset($site[1]) and is_numeric($site[1])){
$port = $site[1];
}else{
$port = 80;
}
$return='';
$site = $site[0];
$conn = fsockopen ($site, $port); #open the connection
if(!$conn){ #if the connection was not opened successfully
$response="Connection failed to $site : $port";
}else{
echo "Connected to $site : $port";
echo $headers =
"POST $location HTTP/1.1\\r\
" .
"Host: $site\\r\
" .
"Content-Type: text/xml\\r\
" .
"User-Agent: ". $agent . "\\r\
" .
"Content-Length: " . strlen($data) . "\\r\
" .
"Authorization: Basic ". $auth . "\\r\
\\r\
";
fputs($conn, "$headers");
fputs($conn, $data);
#socket_set_blocking ($conn, false);
while(!feof($conn)){
echo $response .= fgets($conn, 2048);
if(strpos($response, "</params>" ))
break;
}
$response.="\\r\
</methodResponse>";
fclose($conn);
}
return $response;
}
