Error in PHP fsockopen

[Guest in FL]

Hello,

I keep getting this error when trying to use parse.php file.

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/thehome/public_html/cbsearch/Net/Socket.php on line 108


Does anyone have a clue as to what this is?

Thanks,
Ray

This error is produced when PHP is not able to access an "external source". In other work the fsock cannot open a socket to the server you are trying to connect to.

There can be several reasons. Do you get this error on a dedicated server or shared hosting?

Usually it's a DNS resolving problem. If you are on a dedicated server, verify your DNS settings are correct.

To verify is this is a network error, try to use fsock with an IP address instead of a domain name. If it doesn't work it's a network error. if it works it's the DNS problem.

Hope it can help,
