#44280 [NEW]: socket_send forth argument misdocumented

From: steve_phpnet at nanovox dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: socket_send forth argument misdocumented Description: ------------ The fourth (last) argument described on the socket_send function (flags) does not describe the correct set of constants used to get the described effect. I get a message stating that any of the MSG_ constants are undefined when I attempt to use this function. Reproduce code: --------------- $socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); socket_bind ($socket, 'localhost', '54321'); socket_set_block($socket); socket_listen ($socket); while ($conn = socket_accept ($socket)) { socket_send ($conn, "ABCD", 4, MSG_EOF); // MSG_EOF not defined socket_close ($conn); } socket_close ($socket); Expected result: ---------------- The expected result is that all four of the MSG_ constants are defined as documented. Actual result: -------------- The actual result is that the constants are undefined and the data is never sent over the socket. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44280&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44280&r=mysqlcfg
