error connecting client server [Host lookup failed [0]:]
<p>I tried to connect client server but end with the following error on the client side.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Host lookup failed [0]:</p>
</blockquote>

<p>What could be the possible solution?</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
$host    = "192.168.1.7";
$port    = 2300;
$message = "Hello Server";
echo "Message To server :".$message;
// create socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die("Could not create socket\n");
// connect to server
$result = socket_connect($socket, $host, $port) or die("Could not connect to     server\n");  
// send string to server
socket_write($socket, $message, strlen($message)) or die("Could not send data to    server\n");
// get server response
$result = socket_read ($socket, 1024) or die("Could not read server response\n");
echo "Reply From Server  :".$result;
// close socket
socket_close($socket);
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I wanna connect a simple php client to a php server .. The server and the client are in two different systems in the same network though .. I use Apache thru xampp..</p>

<p>THIS WAS THE ACTUAL ERROR</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Warning: socket_connect() [function.socket-connect]: Host lookup failed [0]: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. in D:\Program Files\XAMPP\htdocs\php\client.php on line 9
  Could not connect to server</p>
