note 115903 added to function.socket-read

quote: "Note: socket_read() returns a zero length string ("") when there is no more data to read." This is not true! In a while loop (example case few bytes to receive - just enough for 1 call, but you use a loop to be sure you received all data) if you use <? socket_set_block($socket); ?> you will get: 1st call in loop: data 2nd call in loop: a block forever, if there isnt data anymore or w/e happen to the "other side" So ofc you want to use <? socket_set_nonblock($socket); ?> and you will get: 1st call in loop: data 2nd call in loop: socket_read() returns FALSE (bool) and socket_last_error() gives you a SOCKET_EWOULDBLOCK (http://de1.php.net/manual/de/sockets.constants.php) There is not a single time i got a empty string back from socket_read. And im "working" on this problem(bug?) since a week or so. You better use socket_recv() instead.
