Help with fsockopen
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:13 am
Never mind...it was because I was returning 0 at the end...which is equal to false
.
I am using MAMP, and am trying to use fsockopen to connect to an IRC server to receive the number of users in the channel. But I am getting error number 0, with no error string. No PHP errors.
hostname = 76.107.162.100
port = 11111

Code: Select all
// Returns the number of users in the IRC
// Returns false if failed
private function _getIrcCount()
{
$socket = fsockopen($this->_hostname, $this->_ircPort, $error_num, $error_str, 30);
echo $error_num.' '.$error_str;
if(!$socket)
return false;
stream_set_timeout($socket, 1);
fwrite($socket, "nick robot\nuser b b b b\nnames #redeemed\nquit\n");
$buffer = "";
while(!feof($socket))
$buffer .= fgets($socket, 16);
fclose($socket);
if (preg_match ('/= #redeemed <!-- s:( --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":(\" title=\"Sad\" /><!-- s:( -->.*)\s*\n/', $buffer, $matches))
{
$output = $matches[1];
$output = preg_replace("/\s+$/", "", $output);
}
else
{
$output = 0;
}
return $output;
}
