From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: RedHat 7.3 PHP version: 4.3.0-pre1 PHP Bug Type: Sockets related Bug description: fgets() returns garbage when STDIN set to non-blocking
I am trying to use the CLI version of 4.3.0-pre1. My script needs to act if there hasn't been input within a certain amount of time. I've used the following function to accomplish this with TCP/IPsockets in non-blocking mode: function GetSocketLine($socket, $timeout) { $timeout += time(); $holdString = ""; while(time() < $timeout) { $string = fgets($socket, 1024); if($string != false) break; } return($string); } However, if I use set_stream_blocking() to set STDIN to non-blocking, the above code returns garbage instead of "false" when there is nothing to receive. It would seem to me that if STDIN is set to non-blocking and STDIN is passed to the above function as $socket, it ought to return "false" when blocking would occur--it shouldn't return garbage. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19944&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19944&r=isapi
