Seeing this on php 5.05 on windows. Basically from the code (5.05) it
looks like curl_multi_info_read *should* return an array so one can
determine the state of the requests. However this function doesn't
return anything.
I've included my test wrapper which does work outside the call to
info_read.
Not supporing this function really cripples the usefulness of more
sophisticated programs that use curl_multi.
<?php
#-- Array of stuff
$connomains = array(
"http://www.cnn.com/",
"http://www.canada.com/",
"http://www.yahoo.com/",
"http://www.google.com/",
"http://www.popmonkey.com/"
);
#-- Initalize our multiple request
$mh = curl_multi_init();
#-- Setup each handle
foreach ($connomains as $i => $url) {
$conn[$i]=curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_multi_add_handle ($mh,$conn[$i]);
}
#-- Perform the request
$lastactive = 5;
do {
$n=curl_multi_exec($mh,$active);
if( $active != $lastactive ) {
$lastactive = $active;
print_r( curl_multi_info_read( $mh ) );
print "Left: $active \n";
}
} while ($active);
foreach ($connomains as $i => $url) {
$res[$i]=curl_multi_getcontent($conn[$i]);
curl_close($conn[$i]);
}
#print_r($res);
?>

Description:
------------
Hello!
I am writing a php-cgi server, using curl-multi. It needs to start a
bunch of curl 'threads', and steadily process the results of finished
'threads' and start new ones in their place.
It seems to be working other than curl_multi_info_read() - this
function does not return any data so I cannot see which curl threads
have finished and are ready for processing.
Looking at the curl.haxx.se curl-lib docs, it doesn't look too
complicated (I'm not a C programmer though!) to implement, seeing as
everything else is working. Perhaps I have missed something entirely.
I assume it is the same problem as mentioned here:?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions you can offer, or
perhaps even an ETA on when this function might be finished so I can
either wait, or skin the cat another way.
Warm regards,
Jason
Reproduce code:
---------------
$status_of_ch_threads = curl_multi_info_read();
Expected result:
----------------
Have the status returned
