Any advice for C++?

[Regolith]

I've written an app in C++ with MFC that queries my clans CoD server and gets player info. Now I want it to do the same for our TS server.

I've seen lots of PHP scripts that do this, but when I try to do the same with CSockets I get nowhere. Of course, I don't do PHP and some of the things I see are quite mysterious to me.

Anyone have any advice for a C programmer?

Hmm use "sys/socket.h" ? NOTE: newline require!

Problem solved. I tried to duplicate in C++ what I'd seen done in PHP, but it didn't work. I finally found an approach that works, and works very well for my purposes.

The structure of the query in C++ is different than that in PHP.
If anyone else needs to get a user list from a TS server, then PM me, or reply in this thread.

I would like to see the code as I am not so familiar with C++ and sockets.

Thank You

Here is an example of getting the list of connected users in all channels:

	
CSocket	socket;
CString	strQuery;

// The PL command lists the users.
strQuery.Format(_T("pl %d\nquit\n"), nUserPort);

if(!socket.Create(0, SOCK_STREAM))
{
	ShowError();
	return;
}
if(!socket.Connect(strIP, nQueryPort))
{
	ShowError();
	return;
}

int	nRet;
BYTE	buff[2048] = "";
lstrcpy((char*)buff, strQuery);

nRet = socket.Send(buff, 100);
Sleep(100);
socket.Receive(pBuffer, nBuffSize);

socket.Close();
CString str(buff);

I hope it helps.
Here is the data returned by a server:

You cant really see it here, but each field is seperated by a '\t'.
