Re: socket_select() problems?

Just to clarify the "horrible" interface. Yes, it could have been written differently, though I did not want to drift to far from the C API semantics(which I believe are perfectly fine). I posted the API rewrite agenda(which made it into 4.2.0), several updates, examples,and answered questions quite awhile ago. True the documentation is lacking, though I have not had the time to work on it. I am planning on spending a lot of time before 4.3.0 because I would lake to change the status of this extension from EXPERIMENTAL to STABLE socket_select() behaves exactly as the select() system call with a few exceptions. 1. fd_sets are arrys: This means instead of FD_ISSET, use in_array() This also allows all the nice/powerful php features, such as using array_walk() 2. It returns FALSE on error instead of -1 3. It forces you to at least pass one array, because some OS's socket implementation (namely win32) does not allow select to be used as a wait call -Jason On Sun, 2002-06-02 at 09:33, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > Yeah, I guess so.
