Feof errors

Please help!

Hi
I am creating a payment module for my online shop but keep getting this error:

Warning: feof(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\[xampp_url]\return2.php on line 44

Here is the code it does not like:

while(!feof($socket))
{
$line = @fgets( $socket, 1024 );
error_reporting($temp);
 // Check if we are finished reading the header yet
 if( strcmp( $line, "\r\n" ) == 0 )
 {
 // read the header
 $headerDone = true;
 }
 // If header has been processed
 else if( $headerDone )
 {
 // Read the main response
 $res .= $line;
 }
}

But when I test another code (below), it works:

set_time_limit(20); 
ob_start(); 
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
$host = "www.webmasterworld.com"; 
$port = 80;

$post = "HEAD / HTTP/1.1\r\n"; 
$post .= "Host: www.webmasterworld.com\r\n"; 
$post .= "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2\r\n"; 
$post .= "Keep-Alive: 200\r\n"; 
$post .= "Connection: keep-alive\r\n\r\n";

$sock = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 20.0); 
fwrite($sock, $post, strlen($post));

while (!feof($sock)){ 
echo fgets($sock); 
} 
ob_end_flush(); 

I was given this code buy on old discussion on this forum and for some reason, it works.
The response was:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Date: Wed, 07 Apr 2010 05:36:02 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Cache-Control: max-age=0

Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent
Pragma: no-cache
X-Powered-By: BestBBS v5.00alpha
Via: 1.1 cpt-cache-01 (NetCache NetApp/6.0.2)

Why does mine not.
By the way, I have checked all the settings in Xampp and they are all correct.
Thanks in advance

At first look, my first question would be: $socket vs $sock, which is it? Your code which does not work does not show the definition of $socket
