fsockopen and fopen

[DoxramosPS]

So I'm trying to get a worldserver in WoW emulation to correctly identify the server as up or down using fsockopen and fopen;
Regardless of which I use the server is currently returning I can't see you.
My identifier is

$world = @fopen($host, $world_port); 

I've echo'd $host and $world_port to make sure they're pulling the right values and they indeed are and then continue to use

if (!$world)
{
echo "I can't see you";
}
else
{
echo "I see you just fine";
} 

My return with both fopen and fsockopen is I can't see you.
I decided I would go to canyouseeme.org and check there. It shows me as open on the port. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
