note 42647 added to function.proc-open

About the comment by ch at westend dot com of 28-Aug-2003 08:46 File streams are buffers. The data is not actualy written if you do not flush the buffer. In your case, fclose has the side effect of flushing the buffer you are closing. The program "hangs" because it tries to read some data that was not written (since it is buffered). You must do something like: <?php fwrite($fp); fflush($fp); fread($fp); ?> Good luck, Andre Caldas. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.proc-open.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42647 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42647&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42647&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
