Re: Gtk::input_add() for a popen() filehandle?

G'day Alan, Thanks for your comments on this. I've just tried doing as you suggest; adding a debugging php_error call to gtk.overrides, but I'm afraid I don't understand the output. What I got for a popen() filehandle was ... Debugging input_add : 842e8d0 138602704 Despite changing the rsrc_type to check against php_file_le_popen() not php_file_le_fopen(), the input function is not being called. So I worry that the PHP popen and fopen types are not compatible ... that is they are not both a plain FILE pointer as they are in C. Can you point to the appropriate place in the PHP source? I don't know my way around it yet. My callback function ... function on_start_activate() { global $fp, $gu; $fp = popen("sleep 1;date;sleep 1;date;sleep 1;date", "r"); $gu = Gtk::input_add($fp, GDK_INPUT_READ, "reader"); } ... and the reader function ... function reader() { global $fp, $gu; echo "reader: entry\n"; $line = fgets($fp, 1024); echo "reader: $line"; if (feof($fp)) { echo "reader: eof after fgets\n"; pclose($fp); return false; } return true; } However, reader() is not being called. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl@us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
