Okay, I've made advances. It is NOT "fsockopen" that is hanging, but "fread"!!! This code works fine:

PHP Code:

<?php
$host = 'udp://195.149.21.46';
$port = 28950;
$fp = fsockopen($host, $port, &$err_no, &$err_msg, 10)
    or die ("Could not open a socket connection to host <i>$host</i> on port <i>$port</i>.
        The error message returned was '<i>$err_msg</i>'.");
echo "A socket connection to host <i>$host</i> on port <i>$port</i> was successfully opened.";
?>

I can run that all day long. However, as soon as I add the "fread" command I'm completely buggered.

Well, it's not much good being able to open a port unless you can read something from it. Even if I could just grab the first few bytes I'd break open a bottle of champagne, I swear to God...

Any ideas?
