Can you describe in a "bigger picture" what you want to do? There are probably several things that you could do, but it would help to understand more of what you are actually trying to do, so we can get the right solution.

Well the computer you're connecting to is going to have to be running a server of some sort. Also, your going to need the port that the server is listening on. I would read up on socket programming and that should get your going.

let me explain better...
i have a c program and a configuration file with the server IP (and port if needed) and i need my program to connect to that computer, open and read a php file like:
and get the info inside it to use in the C program... in the example i need the xxxx part so if i can read the file i can get these...Code:<? $db_name = "xxxx"; $db_ip = "xxx.xxx.x.xxx"; $db_port = "xxxx"; $db_user = "xxxx"; $db_passwd = "xxxx"; ?>
what i want to know is a way to connect to the server from the C program and go to file's path to read it... i suppose i can read the file with fopen / fread right?
To read files from another machine, you need some sort of file transfer service on the remote machine.
If you have free access to the server, then you should set up an SSH server, and use a SSH client (specifically "scp") on the local machine to copy the file across. Then it's a matter of reading/writing the file format. Which is
If you haven't got free access to the server, you are either breaking the forum rules (cracking - not allowed to help you there), or you need to ask the owner of the server what services they supply when it comes to fetching/updating files, e.g. ftp or ssh for example.
