#24101 [Opn->Fbk]: socket_select call is blocking and never returning

ID: 24101 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: wzaccone at telcordia dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Solaris 5.8 / Sparc PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: You can't use fread() on sockets returned from the sockets extension, and likewise, you can use socket_select() on streams returned from fopen() or fsockopen(). Perhaps you meant to use stream_select() instead?

(can't reproduce, but I'm propably missing some part here..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-09 14:02:38] wzaccone at telcordia dot com we upgraded our application from php 4.1.2 to 4.3.2 and are testing. and found the following code no longer works: if (@socket_select($socketsCopy, $w = NULL, $e = NULL, $tv = NULL) !== FALSE){ foreach($socketsCopy as $sock){ The socket_select call appears to be never returning with php 4.3.2.. code worked correctly with 4.1.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24101&edit=1
