One suggestion for the above example for working with UDP. The example uses the same socket to connect to a machine thus closing the listening socket and forcing the re-creation of a new UDP socket and wasting alot of processor time. Instead it would be better to follow the standard TCP/IP operation method whereby you have one socket listening and create new sockets to form active connections. So when the UDP socket is incoming create a new socket identical (bind to a different port number) and then connect. Of course, if you wanted bi-directional communication you should always use TCP/IP because it is more reliable and has methods of packet arrangement and recovery. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-listen.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50286 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50286&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50286&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50286&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50286&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50286&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50286&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
