Re: socket_read() trouble with PHP_BINARY_READ

hello, thank you for the help, but I've tried your code, and it returns the exact same thing :( the error #11 temporarily unavailable. If I remove non-blocking, or change the error to ignore to 11 (10035 in your code example) it simply "hangs" doing nothing *at all*... I'm stumped; really.. thank you for trying though :) - tul Tom Rogers wrote:

MS> socket_set_nonblock($this->socket); You have to catch the 'not ready' error something like this: (The error code was under windows) function get(){ $ret = ''; while(1){

    $sbuf = @socket_read($this->connection, 1024, PHP_BINARY_READ);
    if(false === $sbuf){
      $error = socket_last_error($this->connection);
      if($error != 10035){
        echo "msgsock read() failed: reason: " .$error.' '. socket_strerror (socket_last_error($this->connection)) . "\n";
        return;//socket not happy
      }
    }else{
      $buf_read = strlen($sbuf);
      if($buf_read === 0) break; // end of text
      $ret .= $sbuf;
    }

} return $ret; }
