Yes, I've read that page... many times. It has not helped me. That is why I am posting my problem here, in that hopes that someone can help. (I don't mean to be completely helpless, but I just don't yet understand blocking/non-blocking sockets, and the parameters associated, since they are not well-documented. Someone said I shouldn't complain about this—and I'm not—since the functions are marked "Experimental". But this is precisely why I'm posting the question here.) ...Rene

I just read something about sock warnings this morning. It said sometimes they drop off, and to ignore the warnings, but capture the errors.

I get this output: PHP Warning: socket_read() unable to read from socket [35]: Resource temporarily unavailable in /Users/rene/Sites/gpspolice/titan/cr.php on line 63 From this code: do { socket_set_block($socket); socket_set_option($socket,SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVTIMEO,$timeout); while(($buf = socket_read($socket,128,PHP_BINARY_READ)) !== false) { [...] And it's failing at "while". Any ideas? ...Rene
