PHP sockets - expert help perhaps needed.

[penagate]

That's just a GET request. You can use file_get_contents() (assuming URL wrappers are enabled), and construct the URL manually.

Or is using sockets a requirement?

Thank you so much for your reply penegate (I posted this problem on many other php forums an no-one replied, vbforums was my last resort)

Well, I already had a attempt at this. But it just keeps giving me a 302 response :s. Using sockets is not a requirement, but I would very much like to use sockets since I like to explore stuff.

<?php
    $host = "www.onelook.com";
    $fp = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errdesc) or die("Connection to $host failed");
    
    $request = "GET /w=cat&ls=a HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    $request .= "Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */*\r\n";
    $request .= "Referer: http://www.onelook.com/?w=cat&ls=a\r\n";
    $request .= "Accept-Language: en-us\r\n";
    $request .= "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\r\n";
     $request .= "User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)\r\n";
    $request .= "Host: www.onelook.com\r\n";
    $request .= "Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n\r\n";
    
    fputs($fp, $request);
    
    while(!feof($fp)){
        $page[] = fgets($fp, 1024);
    }
    
    fclose($fp);
    
    for($i=0; $i<count($page); $i++){
        echo $page[$i] . "\n";
    }

?>

Any ideas matey? I hope you are the one who can help me!
