Fetching data from telnet connection using PHP

Fetching data from telnet connection using PHP is very simple.we can use PHP socket functions for this purpose.This is the example code.
$fp = fsockopen("www.sportsinweb.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if(!$fp ){
echo "ERROR: $errno - $errstr
\n";
}
else
{
while (!feof($fp))
{
echo fgets($fp, 128);
// You can receive it to a string and can process instead of echo
}
fclose($fp);
}
