socket problem

Hi,

I use fsockopen to open a connection on a POP3 server.

I use fwrite to send command to the pop3 server.

I have a problem when the call between 2 fwrite is too long.
The connection is closed.
If thought the 2nd fwrite will return false (because the connection is
closed), but it does a strange thing.
Php displays errors messages again and again and again...
Theses error messages are all the same and explain that the connection has
been cancelled by host.
The only solution to stop the error messages is to kill the apache task!

Do you know this bug??
It really should return false and not try again and again to write!!

Can i know if the connection has been cancelled before i call the fwrite
function so i don't have this problem anymore?

Thanks you for your help

Rod

Which version of PHP are you using? I tested some code against Apache with
low settings for Timeout and KeepAliveTimeout, but I can't reproduce this
locally even with error_reporting set to E_ALL. Here is the code I used:

<?php
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
$sock = fsockopen('localhost', 80);
while(1){
$bytes = fwrite($sock, 'test');
if(!$bytes) die("fwrite() failed\n");
echo "sent $bytes bytes\n";
sleep(5);
}
?>

The output was:

= = = = = = = = = =
$ php test.php
sent 4 bytes
sent 4 bytes

Notice: fwrite(): send of 4 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe in
/usr/home/foo/test.php on line 5 fwrite() failed
= = = = = = = = = =

I'm not able to reproduce the repeated error issue, and fwrite() does fail
for me as expected. I'm running PHP 4.3.10.

Hi,

thanks you for your help!
> Which version of PHP are you using?
Php version 4.3.3 (with easyphp and windows)

I have run this code:
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
$sock = fsockopen('localhost', 80);
$i=0;
while($i<5){
$i++;
$bytes = fwrite($sock, 'test');
if(!$bytes) die("fwrite() failed\n");
echo "sent $bytes bytes\n";
sleep(30);
}
die();

OUTPUT is:
sent 4 bytes sent bytes
Notice: fwrite(): send of 4 bytes failed with errno=0 Une connexion établie

files\easyphp1-7\www\localebay\test.php on line 7

files\easyphp1-7\www\localebay\test.php on line 7
....
etc etc etc

And i need to kill the apache task!!

Do you see the number of bytes???
4 then 5 then 6....then 8196 then 8197 etc etc!!! (how is it possible?)

Hi Rod,

I am a Unix guy, I haven't tried PHP on Windows, and I'm not familiar with
EasyPHP. All I can suggest at this point is to upgrade to the latest PHP
(4.3.10) ... I'm not sure how or if that would work with EasyPHP.

One thing I do see is that PHP is issuing "Notice" messages, which are not
necessarily errors. If you set your php.ini for:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

Those messages won't appear. But that won't help the root problem.

I'm hoping that someone who is more familiar with PHP on Windows can help
out.

You're right, It was a php version problem!!
I installed 4.3.10 and it works fine (i have only one error message when the
connection has been cancelled!!).

Thanks you.
