sockets - My PHP script can't connect to an IRC server -

i can't life of me figure out doing wrong. using $sock = fsockopen("irc.esper.net", 6667) seek connect server. i've tried using port 5555 , using server name aperture.esper.net. of fail either timeout or network not reachable error (checked logs). whole code here:

<?php set_time_limit(0); $sock = fsockopen("irc.ipv6.esper.net", 6667); echo("joined"); if (!$sock) { exit(1); } fputs($sock, "user kodas2_ :kodas2_"); fputs($sock, "nick h1a2r\r\n"); fputs($sock, "join #minecraft\r\n"); while (true) { } ?>

thanks replies.

$sock =@ fsockopen("irc.esper.net", 6667, $errno, $errstr, 30); if ($sock) { printf("no error, go on."); }

says: no error, go on.

$sock =@ fsockopen("irc.ipv6.esper.net", 6667, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$sock) { printf("errno: %s, errstr: %s", $errno, $errstr); }

says: errno: 0, errstr: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: no such host known.

so, check hosts first whether valid or not.
