The last fgets in from an fsockopen - hangs

[Anon]

PHP4
readin from pop3 mail box with fsockopen on port 110 (works), input the name and password and read the responses (works).
List the entries (fine)
DO an RETR on a number (fine)
put in a while loop to read each of the entries.
e.g.
while(!feof($fd)) {
echo fgets($fd,100);
}
as soon as it tries to read the last line it hangs.
I have tried:using fread instead;
searching for "\r\n";
doing a do/while;
and lots beside.
If I limit the while to less lines than there are its fine (this hardly practical however). It's just that last line.
My next option is suicide.
Any samaritans out there?

Hmmmmm.....interesting. I have an idea about this one, let me test my ideas out and I'll let you know if I'm stupid or not...

I wish PHP had a socket peek mechanism...

hey, I had the same problem with FTP

try this:

while(!strstr($fd,"Goodbye")) {

This while will execute until the connections
echoes something like "Goodbye"
