Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #9303: read() called with 'length' parameter reads until byte with ascii 10 or 13

It's supposed to be a feature. There is a 4th parameter (has been there since 4.0.4 or so), which specifies the type of read to perform. If you want to simply read ignoring any delimiters, specify PHP_BINARY_READ for the parameter. Or you can use recv() which performs the same function (mostly).
