PHP/Python socket remote connection problems - php

Question

I have this python code:
from socket import *
import threading
import thread
import time
import json
def handler(clientsock,addr):
while 1:
time.sleep(2)
data = clientsock.recv(65535);
if not data:
break
object = json.loads(data)
object['status'] = 1
object['timestamp'] = time.time()
output = json.dumps(object)
msg = output
clientsock.send(msg)
clientsock.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
HOST = '192.168.0.28'
PORT = 5555
BUFSIZ = 65535
ADDR = (HOST, PORT)
serversock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
serversock.bind(ADDR)
serversock.listen(5)
while 1:
print 'waiting for connection...'
clientsock, addr = serversock.accept()
print '...connected from: ', addr
thread.start_new_thread(handler, (clientsock, addr))
and this PHP code:
<?php
/**
*
* PHP JSON Echo Server client
*
*/
// python server socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_connect($socket, '192.168.0.28', 5555);
//Create a message, and send it to the server on $socket.
$data = array(
'username' => 'sysadmin',
'key' => '093ufj408xr0289u3r0x9u2m309x',
'action' => 'login',
);
$json = json_encode($data);
socket_send($socket, $json, strlen($json), MSG_EOF);
$data = socket_read($socket, 65535);
$object = json_decode($data);
if($object->status) {
echo '<p>Data received successfully.';
} else {
echo '<p>Error. Data not read correctly!';
}
echo '<p>'.$data;
//Close the socket.
socket_close($socket);
?>
If I run it in my local network it works without a problem. But when I execute the PHP script on an external hosting it doesn't work anymore. I've changed the IP address to my WAN IP address and even to the DNS offered by the ISP. Nothing works.
This is the output:
Warning: socket_connect(): unable to connect [111]: Connection refused in /home/usr/public_html/webclient.php on line 9
Warning: socket_send(): unable to write to socket [32]: Broken pipe in /home/usr/public_html/webclient.php on line 17
Warning: socket_read(): unable to read from socket [107]: Transport endpoint is not connected in /home/usr/public_html/webclient.php on line 18
Error. Data not read correctly!
I tried scanning for open ports with this service: http://www.ipfingerprints.com/portscan.php and port 5555 is open. I also got a message from the server:
waiting for connection...
...connected from: ('5.79.68.210', 36080)
Where is the problem?

Answer 1

on this code :
print '...connected from: ', addr
you cant use this code, for know open port you need use this code:
print '...connect from: ' + addr[0] + ':' + str(addr[1])
only that
and you arnt using the sockets coorectly:
serversock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
use this its will be better:
serversock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
