You just output it. Some examples I've seen use fputs. You might have to sleep for a second to make sure the prompt comes up. There's actually an example in the comments on the fsockopen manual page: http://php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php

Really though I'd recommend looking for a module that does this. A quick google shows there are several out there. I don't want to recommend a particular one because I haven't used any of them.
