I see no reasons why this could be a problem. The biggest need for stream_select is the multiserver code. Otherwise I have to foreach loop trying todo fgets on every server connection.(after setting it to non-blocking mode) That is absolutely horrible way todo it IMHO. (even in a single connection.. having fgets() act as blocking for a single line.. not cool at all). Before finding the completely undocumented stream_select function(and buging people in IRC about it -- it is getting documented soon), I was pondering moving all of Net_IRC to use the Sockets extension.(so I could use socket_select()) But by using fsockopen() and stream_select() in 4.3 I am able to get the functionality I need for sanity and not require a non-standard experimental extension, which I think is the lesser of two evils. I hope that clears up some of my logic in requiring PHP 4.3.0+ for Net_IRC -chip
