could you imagine that somebody who has never seen your code,
has no idea how it is put together or even what platform it
requires (php4/php5?) might not have clue what your on about?

hello again
I was writing and rewriting my user function for my chat server trying
to crush this bug but its beyond me whats going on. basically I have it
so if a new user comes on, we know that if they type "new" at the prompt
so it goes to the newuser function, asks for a username, accepts that
alright, but when I ask for a password(echoed or not), even if i ask for
anything else, just the second input of the function, it skips right
threw that, prompts for it but apparently the buffer still has a \n in
it so it is assuming that is the password and going right onto the 3rd
signup prompt, i could stick with the default password being a random
number and avoiding this whole problem, but i actually don't, the buffer
is still full of whatever, and would ask the 3rd prompt but just drop
right threw,
I turned on implicit_flush in php.ini, just as a second measure, I call
ob_implicit_flush() after reading from the socket each time, but the
'\n' or whatever mysterious character, still seems to be there, also, I
know too because before i started working on redoing the logon function,
i would log on and i would automatically have a character sent but i
didn't type anything so something is really screwy or am I just not
clearing the buffers the right way?
oh yes, as you may have assumed from what I wrote, or may not have,
after the password or otherwise 2nd prompt, things work as expected with
the other prompts,
if this helps, I am using php 4.3.10 in command line interface
