You can use the socket functions in conjunction with TCP wrappers. For example, take a look at fsockopen() in the manual: http://ca.php.net/fsockopen The resulting resource can be used with fwrite() and fread() and the likes as if it were a file resource. For more complex applications, you can use the actual socket API: http://beeblex.com/manual/ref.sockets.html?s=man%3Asocket Finally (since you mention you're connecting to a .Net app), maybe what you need is a web service protocol like SOAP, in which case if you're using PHP 5 there is a built-in extension, whereas PHP 4 requires you to use a userland library like the one provided by PEAR: http://pear.php.net/package/soap/redirected Cheers, Marco -- Marco Tabini President & CEO Marco Tabini & Associates, Inc. 28 Bombay Ave. Toronto, ON M3H 1B7 Canada Phone: +1 (416) 630-6202 Fax: +1 (416) 630-5057 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
