RE: [PHP-DB] fgets find string help please

Correct me if I'm wrong, but something like: if(($string=fgets($socket,128)) == "hello") echo 'success!'; should work. In C or C++ you would use strcmp, but luckily PHP doesn't have that drawback. Out of curiosity, what are you working on?

I have searched all over for an answer but to no avail so I hand it over to you clever people here. The kind of result I want is if string excists the $result = 0 else $result = 1 I can carry on from there…. while(!feof($socket)) { echo fgets($socket,128); } fclose($socket); $socket is working and echoing a result.
