No, your webhost is restricting PHP usage on your account, most likely blocking access to ports other than port 80.

Ohh so what port would i need?

Whatever port you're using on your shoutcast server.

Whatever port you're using on your shoutcast server.

Try this very simple socket connection test.

If it doesn't work, it's your host's fault (it's harder for them to deny when they see such a basic script =])

<?php
$host = ""; // Shoutcast server address
$port = ""; // Shoutcast server port

$fp = fsockopen($host,$port,$errno,$errstr,30);

if (!$fp) die("Error: $errstr ($errno)");

echo "Connection successful! :)";

fclose($fp);

?>

Either you've got the address / port wrong for your shoutcast host, or your php access is restricted

Thing is my host are adamant its the script, they say there are no PHP limitations :| Anyone know a good free cpanel host? not paying for them no more

[Trigs]

Don't ask them if it's a PHP limitation. Ask them if they are blocking port (insert your port here).
