Hey folks,

In what is a bit of an embarrassment a website client and the developer never discussed the server type so a big PHP site was built on linux but then ended up having to be deployed on MS Server 2008...sigh...

My part almost works, the only problem I am having is with fsockopen for paypal IPN.

the code is
Code:
$fp = fsockopen ('[URL unfurl="true"]www.sandbox.paypal.com',[/URL] 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
On my home PC it works fine but on the windows server it times out.

My guess it is a firewall issue and am waiting to hear back from the system admin, but someone else may have a clue.

Many thanks in advance for any ideas.

Steve
