From: php at richardneill dot org Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: socket_read return type: misleading documentation
Description: ------------ The documentation for socket_read suggests that it returns false on error, and "" on connection closed. This seems not to be true. Please also see this bug, which I filed about the function itself, which has been closed, because the function itself is correct.
