PHP problems.

[ebrizzlez]

Ok. So I have downloaded this source for a PHP Port Scanner with Mailing features from HBH. And I compiled the page, and uploaded it to my site, and it seems that I changed the mail function from mail(blahblah@blah.com) to my email address, and I never recieve any emails from the port scanner page. I use AOL, so I tried to check if my spam filters got rid of it, but there was nothing in my Spam Folder, or any folder at all! Would anyone know whats going on?
This would be the code if needed.:

Code: Select all

<?php

$ports = array(21,23,25,79,80,110,135,137,138,139,143,443,445,1433,3306,3389);


$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($ports); $i++) {


$port = $ports[$i];


$fp = @fsockopen($ip, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 1);


if ($fp) {



mail('myemailadress@aol.com', 'Open Port', 'User with IP '.$ip.' has port '.$port.' open!');

}
}
?>

Thanks for the help.

hm, is it a free webspace? if yes it might simply not be allowed to send mails this way...

It's been a long time since I haven't touch php but first, I would remove the @ in front of the fsocket or whatever function. I think @ is use to NOT warn if there is a error... because sometimes, error code a very handy to hacker but now it looks like you could need the error message

yep most of the time in free hosts... the mail function is disabled due to too many spammers..

The script worked fine with me.. i even got the emails... see below

what host should I use then? I currently use http://www.awardspace.com .

Did you ever think about setting up your own web server?

http://apache.org

well... yea, but it seems to complex for someone like me, I wouldnt know how to configure it as well. And I am a bit afraid of hackers attacking a mistake I would probley make. But, I will give it a shot, and come back if I need help , I guess.
