note 94879 added to function.stream-get-line

fgets is faster but stream_get_line is more useful in a tcp server scripts. when fgets reads some bytes from socket, where EOF is reached, it returns bool(false) same as stream_get_line BUT if remote client drops connection, and server script will try to read some data with function fgets, function will return bool(false), and stream_get_line will return string(0) "" so you can detect remote client disconnection with stream_get_line, and cannot with fgets ---- Server IP: 78.41.111.4 Probable Submitter: 92.100.113.104 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-get-line.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94879 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94879/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94879/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94879/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94879/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94879/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94879/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94879 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94879 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
