tpog Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi, I've just signed up to the service and uploaded some code. Using fsockopen I'm getting the error: Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to tls://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Connection timed out) in /home/tpog/public_html/functions/functions.php on line 81 no connection Is fsockopen() supported? Do I need to set-up or activate anything? I've done a forum search and can't see anything about this. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 fsockopen() is indeed supported, and you don't need to do anything to activate it. Your error message indicates that fsockopen is working fine - the issue is that it cannot open a connection with the specified address because it encounters a timeout when it attempts.

tpog Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks for the update - I'll persevere with it then, thanks. Update: fsockopen didn't like connecting to "tls://smtp.gmail.com" or "ssl://smtp.gmail.com". Have amended to connect to "smtp.gmail.com" and included a STARTTLS step in the handshake.
