You can probably do:
$fp = @fsockopen ($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
// the @ suppresses the error
However, what they mean by the "never be used on production systems" is
that display errors should not be "On" on a production system. You
should change it to "Off" in your php.ini, or if you can't use the
ini_set() in your script.
