Hi. Can anyone with windows knowledge take a quick look at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47918. I'm pretty sure this IS a bug. I'm hoping you don't say it is a documentation bug and it is something you can fix. My requirement is to allow non-blocking file i/o. With non-win32, it seems that the fcntl() function can accept O_NONBLOCK. This does not seem to be present on win32. The doc for fopen() does not mention 'n' as being available (probably for this reason). Regards, Richard. -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!" -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
