I guess so too. would you consider it a bug that php defers the processing of system signals whilst readline() is waiting to return control to the script? and what is the likelihood that this has anything to do with php? if it is down to the readline extension itself I would be surprised - I would have expected a lib like GNU's readline to take account of signals and handle them correctly/gracefully. > > You could, howver, write your own PHP function similar to readline, > only without whatever is in readline that ignores/buffers signals. > > You'd want something like an fread($x, 1) on a non-blocking stream, > and then build up the string character by character, until you get a > newline. I can live with it the way it is - having followed your battle with non-blocking madness in various threads in the past I don't feel much for diving into that abyss myself (it doesn't help that my undertstanding of streams is patchy at best!) one day the readline annoyance will start to grate so much I'll be forced to look into it :-) no doubt I'll get stuck and need the help of a Non-Blocking 'expert' anyway, thanks for all you input (on every question I posed in last few days!) regard, Jochem > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
