Here is some code to help out abit more with the EOF problem.

I had a problem where I needed to strip out so many lines of server input to get back right data i wanted.



<?php

$port=4000;

$host="localhost";

$message="test";

$status=senddata($host,$port,$message);

print "$status";



function senddata($host,$port,$message) {



#takes in account servers that do not return EOF character

#send data to server and get back input



#function globals

$linenumber="2"; #amount of lines to get rid of before we give input

$lineamount="1"; #amount of lines to read after we give input



$fp = fsockopen("$host", $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);

if (!$fp) {

   echo "$errstr ($errno)";

}

else {

   for ($i = 1; $i < $linenumber+1; $i++) {

      fread ($fp,1);

      $bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);

      if ($bytes_left > 0) { fread($fp, $bytes_left[unread_bytes]); }

   }

   fputs($fp, "$message\r\n");

   for ($i = 1; $i < $lineamount+1; $i++) {

      $status.=fread($fp,1);

      $bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);

      if ($bytes_left > 0) { $status.=fread($fp, $bytes_left[unread_bytes]); }

   }

   fclose ($fp);

}



return $status;

}
