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

ID: 16680 Updated by: mfischer@php.net Reported By: tech@kalyweb.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Windows 9x PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: How did you test sending data to your php script which received the data? I've noticed that the telnet version shipped with windows does by default transmit every character immidiately over the line (hence resulting only in single characters sent). If I telnet from a linux host to the script running under win32 I recevied the whole data only after I pressed return. I've tested it with this simple script: <? error_reporting(E_ALL); if (false === ($s = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP))) exit; if (false === socket_bind($s, '0.0.0.0', 8765)) exit; if (false === socket_listen($s, 10)) exit; if (false === ($t = socket_accept($s))) exit; while ($data = socket_read($t, 1024)) { var_dump($data); } ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-04 19:07:35] mfischer@php.net Please try with CVS HEAD and report back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-04 13:19:44] gilles@clixicon.nl 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
