Bug #16680 Updated: socket_read() does not have the described behaviour ...

ID: 16680 Updated by: gilles@clixicon.nl Reported By: tech@kalyweb.com Status: Open Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Windows 9x PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: i have exactly the same problem with win2000. it closes the connection immidiatly after the first received char. that little scriptlet upthere seems to be be a way around this. is this a bug or is it suppost to work like this? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-18 09:57:00] tech@kalyweb.com In the documentation, it's written that socket_read() reads data from the socket until a \n, \t, \0.... or until the end of the buffer. But under win32 it reads only 1 char. This would be fixed. Just use instead : $buf=""; while (substr($buf,-1)!="\n") { $buf.=socket_read($socket,1); } I've put 1 here, but you can write 16777216 it'll continue to give back only 1 char. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16680&edit=1
