Re: [PHP] Problem with getting non-blocking data from stdin

[Marek Kilimajer]

File a bug report. stream_set_blocking() started to work for files only 
since version 4.3, so it is likely full of bugs. Actualy, using cli php 
4.3.2 I got this results some weird results. Your version run infinitely 
but changing echo 'Fooo!'."\n"; to echo 'Fooo!'; (removing newline) 
resulted in the same behavior as you experienced. fread did not return 
false even if no key was pressed, only empty string but this might be 
correct, i don't know. Both fgetc and fgets did return false.

How are you calling this script?  I'm not sure how cgi will handle
fread <stdin>
With a traditional CGI script <stdin> is what is read on POST data
from a form, and php takes care of this.
That is where my confusion is now.


I'm calling it as "php -qC foo.php". The fread() should work since it
works on input when I don't have stdin in non-blocking mode. Perhaps
it's a bug. I took a look at the doc on streams again, and it uses
php://input as the POST stream. Maybe it's a bug.
Cheers,
Rob.
