note 47789 added to function.socket-recv

To read from socket both on linux and windows OS having flash as a client I use function bellow. $length is the size of a chunk, not the max length to read. It will continue reading until EOL char occures or client disconnects (or in case of error), so it works for bigger packets as well. function read($descriptor, $length = 1024) { $this->method = "read"; if(!$client){ echo("No valid socket descriptor !\n"); return false; } $read =''; while(($flag=socket_recv($descriptor, $buf, $length,0))>0){ $asc=ord(substr($buf, -1)); if ($asc==0) { $read.=substr($buf,0,-1); break; }else{ $read.=$buf; } } if ($flag<0){ //error return false; }elseif ($flag==0){ //Client disconnected return false; }else{ return $read; } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-recv.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47789 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47789&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47789&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47789&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47789&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47789&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47789&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47789&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
