#48684 [Opn->Fbk]: cant make STDIN non blocking

ID: 48684 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: ryan at ryanmills dot net -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Streams related Operating System: win32 only - Vista X64 PHP Version: 5.2.10 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-11 22:46:48] pajoye@php.net And where is the patch then? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-11 22:43:54] spam at helper3000 dot net Would also just like to add that after a mere day, a busy friend I know managed to fix PHP 5.2 and apply the patch to 5.3, it now works perfectly using his modified build. UNDER A DAY. And this issue has been continuing in PHP for at least 7 years... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-08 20:59:57] spam at helper3000 dot net Problem experianced using 5.3.1 in both thread and non-thread safe binaries on windows XP SP2. I too have read that it is an ongoing problem; it should have been fixed many years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-20 23:32:06] ron at rongage dot org Actually, it still doesn't work on Linux either (5.2.11). Yes, the actual fread is non-blocking. However, if you press any key, it is NOT registered so you can't react to keystrokes. The code: <?php stream_set_blocking(STDIN,FALSE); while (1) { $x = fread(STDIN,1); var_dump($x); if ($x != "") exit; } As expected with non-blocking, the fread doesn't hold up execution of the program. However, if a key is hit (something comes in on STDIN), the program should immediately exit. It doesn't - it just keeps on going, and going, and going....

Linux works, windows does not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
