fsockopen

[olavo27]

To check if my game server is online i have to use that command

 $fp = @fsockopen('megaot.com', 7171, $errno, $errstr,3); 

but $fp aways return false in this host, why?
I tried in my local host, and some other freewebhosts and all of them worked ($fp returned true when the game server is online).

Is there any way to make it work? Is that not working for some reason?

Curl and fsockopen have been disabled on all servers because people use it to create proxy scripts. There nothing that can be done about it.

To restate what danielx386 said. fsock and curl are allowed. The port you are trying is most likely blocked, as most outgoing ports are blocked.
