note 69039 added to function.socket-read

This paragraph is confusing: socket_read() returns the data as a string on success, or FALSE on error (including if the remote host has closed the connection). The error code can be retrieved with socket_last_error(). This code may be passed to socket_strerror() to get a textual representation of the error. Note: socket_read() returns a zero length string ("") when there is no more data to read. My tests (on PHP 5.1.4) show that when you socket_read() on a shutdown-socket, it returns FALSE when using PHP_NORMAL_READ, but returns "" when reading in PHP_BINARY_READ. ---- Server IP: 82.146.33.222 Probable Submitter: 81.246.15.38 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-read.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69039 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69039/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69039/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69039/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69039/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69039/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69039/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69039 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69039 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
