As an aside: you can use stream_select() to acheive this (see docs for socket_select; they work the same way, but on different things). Also, you should use if ($string !== false) to 100% correct in your script.

Use a snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.bz2 fgets had some real nasty problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-16 23:32:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19944&edit=1
