In windows one way to make work fopen("COM4","r+") and then sucesives fread() is
previusly do this: start->control panel->modem and phone then select de modem and click
propertys and make a test or Diagnostic of the device.
After that work properly fopen() and fread() under serial port while not disconnect de port.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

(2) was an artifact of my test setup. Ignore that. But (1) stands: I can't see any input until
8K bytes have been read.
Using a COM-port monitoring program, I can see and count the bytes coming in, and a terminal
emulator gets them starting with the first byte, but php (fread, fgets, or fgetc) doesn't.

Description:
------------
(1) Open a COM port as a serial input using fopen. Read using fread or fgets. No data appears until
8K bytes have been read. There is an 8K buffer on writes, but there shouldn't be one on reads.
(Should there?) Are reads somehow using the write buffer? Sure enough:
(2) Again, open a COM port as a serial input using fopen. This time, write some characters using
fwrite. Now fread 8K of serial data. At the head of that stream appears the data you had written
with fwrite. Oops.
[Several people have reported an inability to get fgets to read COM data, saying they tried and
fgets just never sees any input. I assume this was their problem. But others have reported using
fgets on COM successfully. Something specific to OS/PHP versions?]
Reproduce code:
---------------
(1)
$serial_port = fopen("COM4", "r+");
echo(fread($serial_port, 8192));
(2)
$serial_port = fopen("COM4", "r+");
fwrite($serial_port, "MP");
echo(fread($serial_port, 8192));
Expected result:
----------------
(1) & (2)
serial data starting with the first byte that came in on the serial line
Actual result:
--------------
(1) Nothing until 8K of data has been read in.
(2) After enough serial data to fill the buffer, first the data written ("MP" in this
example), then the data that came in on the serial line.
