Bug #15040 Updated: Socket

ID: 15040 User updated by: webmaster@weathermetrics.com Reported By: webmaster@weathermetrics.com Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Windows NT 4.0 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I'm sorry I should have made this clear. This was a pre-existing VB App that I have been running for a year now doing the same procedure from embedded clients. It is a possibility I am not fully understanding the life of a PHP socket vs. other socket types. Does anyone have any documentation on the life of a PHP socket. It seems to me like the socket is dyeing before sending the message.

I am trying to dump a small packet of data to the VB program using the following PHP code: $port=getPort($t); $host=getHost($t); $prot=getProtocol($t); $fp = fsockopen ($prot.$host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n"; } else { $w=fputs ($fp, URLUnEncode($Commands["DATA"])); } } if (!$fp) { //$w=socket_set_blocking(TRUE); //sleep(30); $w = fclose ($fp); } The problem is the socket works fine the first time, but the second time the script is run (~1 min between successive runs) the application gives this error. It seems to me the script is closing before it is done sending the data. I tried various socket timeouts, setting the blocking to true and false, and putting a pause in. Nothing seemed to work. Is it because only the script is sending data, I have not seen any PHP examples, where the script is the only side sending data.
