note 94146 added to function.socket-read

I discovered that socket_read() was not always grabbing the length that I requested. If I requested 1024 bytes, it may return any number smaller than that. Well, due to the nature of network traffic, there's no way to determine how much data will be read from the socket each time. To read data of a certain length, this little method works well. <?php public function readSocketForDataLength ($socket, $len) { $offset = 0; $socketData = ''; while ($offset < $len) { if (($data = @socket_read ($socket, $len-$offset, $this->readType)) === false) { $this->error(); return false; } $dataLen = strlen ($data); $offset += $dataLen; $socketData .= $data; if ($dataLen == 0) { break; } } return $socketData; } ?> Happy coding! ---- Server IP: 192.41.40.227 Probable Submitter: 69.26.215.166 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-read.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94146 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94146/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94146/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94146/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94146/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94146/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94146/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94146 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94146 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
