Stream and networking programming seems like a rock on the way to ZCE for most people, so I'm learning some socket examples before I sit in the room for exam. Here is the script for server <?php $socket = stream_socket_server("tcp://127.0.0.1:1037", $errno, $errstr); if(!$socket) { echo "$errstr ($errno) \n"; } else { while($conn = stream_socket_accept($socket)) { echo "New connection \n"; fwrite($conn, "Hello World \n"); fwrite($conn, "Do you want to close server? Yes(Y)/No(N) \n"); if(!feof($conn)) { $answer = fread($conn, 1); if($answer == 'Y') { echo "User choose to close server. \n"; break; } elseif($answer == 'N') { echo "Service continue... \n"; } else { echo "Unknown answer '$answer'. \n"; } } fclose($conn); } fclose($socket); } and the client <?php $socket = stream_socket_client('tcp://127.0.0.1:1037', $errno, $errstr); if(!$socket) { echo "$errstr ($errno) \n"; } else { $answer = "Y";// fgets(STDIN) fwrite($socket, $answer); while(!feof($socket)) { echo fread($socket, 100); } } everything works, but if I write after read in client <?php $socket = stream_socket_client('tcp://127.0.0.1:1037', $errno, $errstr); if(!$socket) { echo "$errstr ($errno) \n"; } else { while(!feof($socket)) { echo fread($socket, 100); } $answer = "Y";// fgets(STDIN) fwrite($socket, $answer); } server&client hangs after output and time out later. Can any1 point out whats the reason and the more correct way to get socket client input in socket server? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
