telnet socket error

hello!

i am trying to give item via l2j telnet.. the problem is that sometime it works, but other times it doesnt (allways same command)

i never actually worked with l2j before so i really don't see where the problem is, if some1 does, please tell me

function giveItem($player) {

global $CONFIG;
$usetelnet = fsockopen($CONFIG['telnet_ip'],$CONFIG['telnet_port'], $errno, $errstr, 30);

if($usetelnet) {

	$command = 'give '.$player.' '.$CONFIG['reward_item_id'].' '.$CONFIG['reward_item_count'];
	echo "<".$command."><br />";
	fputs($usetelnet, $CONFIG['telnet_pass']);
	fputs($usetelnet, "\r\n");
	fputs($usetelnet, $command);
	fputs($usetelnet, "\r\n");
	fputs($usetelnet, "exit\r\n");

	fclose($usetelnet);
	return true;
}
return false;

}

the code gives sometime SocketException.. from what i have read it's caused by misformed command line, anyone?
