RE: [PHP] PHP Sockets - How to detect client disconnection?

I used Process Control Functions in PHP and installed some signals to catch socket disconnection. My attempt to do this in loops were a harder way or i could not manage it. There must be some notes about this in archives or i can send some of my code so that you can have a look at them.

How do I detect a disconnected client from a socket resource? In an infinite loop, I socket_read() every open resource that passes a socket_select(). As far as I know, the only way to detect if the client disconnected unexpectedly from their socket resource is when socket_read() returns FALSE (which, during my testing, produced the warning: "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine."). However, socket_read() doesn't return FALSE on a disconnected client's socket resource until I first attempt to socket_write() to that resource. In brief pseudo code... socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP) while (TRUE) foreach (resource where (false === socket_select($arrayofresources, NULL, NULL, 0, 0)) if (socket_read() === false) WON'T DETECT DISCONNECT UNTIL I FIRST socket_write() I appreciate any support you offer and thank you for your time.
