#19944 [Ctl->Csd]: fgets() returns garbage when STDIN set to non-blocking

ID: 19944 User updated by: ces@vaultbbs.com Reported By: ces@vaultbbs.com -Status: Critical +Status: Closed Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: RedHat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.0-pre1 New Comment: Latest snap seems to work great. Non-blocking sockets and STDIN both seem to work as expected, no garbage, no crashing. As far as I can tell this issue is closed at this time. Thanks! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-19 05:35:49] wez@php.net I've just committed a fix for the STDIN problem; please try the next snapshot (dated/timestamped after this message). Please also test with sockets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-19 04:27:16] wez@php.net Can you provide a backtrace for the core-dump? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-18 20:11:55] ces@vaultbbs.com Rats, just changing status to "Open"--already added comment above... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-18 20:11:03] ces@vaultbbs.com As of snap-200210181500 it still doesn't work. Results are the same with garbage returned when using fgets() on STDIN when in non-blocking mode. Last two snaps I've tried (10/17 and 200210181500) have the added feature of also core dumping when fgets() is used on a non-blocking socket opened with fsockopen(). Previous versions of PHP work as expected with fgets() on a non-blocking socket, but the snaps seem to core dump. 10/17 snap would core dump on first call to fgets() whereas today's snap seems to go through the while loop three times and then core dumps when it hits fgets() again. Thus, the current observation is that when using fgets in non-blocking mode: 1. STDIN returns garbage. 2. Sockets core dump. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-17 21:59:58] wez@php.net As an aside: you can use stream_select() to acheive this (see docs for socket_select; they work the same way, but on different things). Also, you should use if ($string !== false) to 100% correct in your script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
