title: Client Server application with PHP and Python
body: <p>I am trying to send data from PHP Client to Python Server.</p>
  
  <p><strong>CLIENT</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  $host = "127.0.0.1";
  $port = 2000;
  
  $output="datatatatatatta" ;
  
  $socket1 = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,0) or die("Could not create socket\n");
  
  socket_connect ($socket1 , $host,$port ) ;
  
  socket_write($socket1, $output, strlen ($output)) or die("Could not write output\n");
  
  socket_close($socket1) ;
  
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>SERVER</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>import socket
  import sys
  s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
  
  host= 'VAC01.VACLab.com'
  port=int(2000)
  s.bind((host,port))
  s.listen(1)
  
  conn,addr =s.accept()
  
  print (conn,addr)
  
  data=conn.recv(100000)
  data=data.decode("utf-8")
  
  s.close
  
  
  FILE = open("c:/vinod/vin.txt","w")
  FILE.write(str(data))
  FILE.close()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On the client side I get the following error ,.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning: socket_connect() [function.socket-connect]: unable to connect [0]: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\socket.php on line 10
  
  Warning: socket_write() [function.socket-write]: unable to write to socket [0]: A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied. in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\socket.php on line 12
  Could not write output 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this possible to connect this way ?</p>
