[vdr] SVDRP with PHP

Been trying to connect to vdrbox with php, some luck :( Following works, in vdr log the connections opened and closed. ----- $fp = fsockopen ("vdr.myhome.dom", 2001, &$errnro, &$errstr, 30); if ($fp) { fputs ($fp, "QUIT\n"); fclose($fp); } ----- Following just hangs there until timed out by vdr. ----- $fp = fsockopen ("vdr.myhome.dom", 2001, &$errnro, &$errstr, 30); if ($fp) { fputs ($fp, "LSTC MTV\n\n"); while (!feof($fp)) { $buf = fgets($fp, 1024); echo $buf; } fputs ($fp, "QUIT\n"); fclose($fp); } ----- Any hints ?
