ID: 15813 Updated by: exonic@signuts.net Reported By: karl@crantorland.com Status: Open Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: windows nt 4.0 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I experience the same problem. I'm using PHP4.1.2 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-01 11:21:30] karl@crantorland.com PHP is unrelyable in telling when data has arrived on a socket. socket_get_status() once the feof has resulted in true will never reset even when data has arrived. I have done extensive testing. I connect to an smtp server so i know the server side is working. this is what is suppose to happen: 1)client connects 2)server accepts and sends 220 ready reponse 3)client recieves 220 and sends EHLO to server 4)server recives EHLO and sends back 250 reponse along with supported options 5)client recives 250 reponse(smtp goes on with more stuff but this is the point where my script would disconnect) i use a while(!feof($socket)) loop to get all the data off the port. the first one works and then after that no matter what data arrives feof($socket) is always true. socket_get_status($socket) confirms that php thinks no more has arrived but when i look at the server i can see that data has been sent. This was all done under 4.1.0. i upgraded to 4.1.1 and now nothing works at all. testing code is here. feel free to connect to the server and port specified for testing. http://dcl.nvps.net/socket.phps http://dcl.nvps.net/socket.php If i am wrong about this and someone has a script that proves me wrong please email it to me and disregard this post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15813&edit=1
