Bug #1511: Huge delay/hang when reading sockets...

From: danbeck@scott.net Operating system: Linux (RedHat 5.2) PHP version: 3.0.9 PHP Bug Type: Performance problem Bug description: Huge delay/hang when reading sockets... The following code causes about a 10 to 15 second delay/hang before finishing. I'm not sure why it takes so long to read from the socket, the server here on our LAN returns a reponse to the initial fwrite() almost instantly... I have a perl script that uses similar code and it's instantaneous. $socket = fsockopen($h_addr, $h_port, &$errno, &$errstr); $cmd = "arbitrary data"; fwrite($socket, $cmd, strlen($cmd)); while (!feof($socket)){ $buffer .= fread( $socket, 1024); } fclose ($socket);
