I know that. That's not what I am asking though.
OK, let me just give a more concrete examples. I browse the archive and found
the following code to simulate a POST request using socket connection. This
will send a request to my own server (localhost). And then, I also have the
second code (included) for /devel/php_post.php, which is the target for this
request.
The problem is, this won't even run. It's just loading and loading. Why?
So basically I need to learn how to handle incoming request similar to this
with PHP.
Thanks a lot
