As I said, you're probably better off with fsockopen() anyway. Remember, the oure socket functions are experimental (or at least were last time I checked that part of the manual) and you never really know with experimental things. As well, they may change at any time, rendering your scripts useless on later versions of PHP.
The Network functions, as classified in the manual, are very solid and widely supported. If it works the way you want it to with one method, why recreate your own wheel?
