#29726 [Opn->Fbk]: Streams socket functionality

ID: 29726 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: lists at cyberlot dot net -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Fedora Core 2 PHP Version: 5.0.1 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.0-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-10 13:58:59] wez@php.net Please be more specific in what the problem is. Note: - PHP fgets() is line based and binary safe, changing it would break things. It only returns lines, or the last partial line before the socket (or file) is closed. - If you want to break lines on multiple different characters, you need to code your own buffer handling yourself. See stream_socket_select() for a way to avoid blocking and writing multiplexing socket servers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-18 21:09:35] lists at cyberlot dot net This problem only exists with fread, fget which multiple examples in the docs use and the docs list as "See Also" functions. However by using stream_socket_recvfrom this problem was resovled.. This function is not at this time referenced in the manual other in the functions list so might easily overlooked as I did. One possible issue I do see, stream_socket_recvfrom looks to work because it pulls everything in the buffer up to X bytes regardless of any EOL character. On a slow single line entry settup this shouldn't be a problem and everything should work fine.. Under high load when data ends up being buffered at both sides this function would return only partial "blocks" of what a user might expect and the user would need to program his own internal buffering that checks for EOL. This should be covered in more detail in the online manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-18 00:59:26] lists at cyberlot dot net Description: ------------ switched from socket functions to stream functions for socket server usage because streams is supposed to be stable, and are included by default.. The problem socket_read supports PHP_NORMAL_READ which allows it to see flashes \0 as EOL... This is not possible when using streams to create a socket server as fget does not see \0 as EOL Expected result: ---------------- Expect fgets to return data at \0 Actual result: -------------- Nothing is returned until the buffer is filled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29726&edit=1
