Re: cvs: php4 /ext/standard file.c

I'm reading this discussion and I fail to see what it is about. If we need a function that will try as hard as pobbible to write N bytes to a filehandle, what's bad with the following scheme: int full_write(int s, char *buff, int length, int *bytes_written) { int full_length=length; int writel; *bytes_written = 0; while(length > 0) { writel = write(s, buff, length); if(writel <= 0) { if(errno == EINTR) continue; return FAILURE; } buff += writel; length -= writel; *bytes_written += writel; } return SUCCESS; } Is there something I'm missing? Or did I misunderstand the point of the discussion? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
