I am working with code like this to read multiple lines... Maybe I'm just being goofy, but how do you expect PHP to know that it should stop?... I mean, it's a socket, and it's probably still "open" and "waiting" to send/receive info, so when do you think PHP's fgets() should "stop"?... I think there are probably specific tokens/lines/keywords in the MSN protocol that you're going to have to use to know when read() has finished getting a whole "chunk" of information... What that token *IS*, I dunno. Only MS knows, I guess... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm I'm looking for a PRO QUALITY two-input sound card supported by Linux (any major distro). Need to record live events (mixed already) to stereo CD-quality. Soundcard Recommendations? Software to handle the recording? Don't need fancy mixer stuff. Zero (0) post-production time. Just raw PCM/WAV/AIFF 16+ bit, 44.1KHz, Stereo audio-to-disk.
