fread from socket chokes on double quote

Anon

I have a script that opens a socket using
fsockopen($domain, $sock, $errno, $errstr);
sends some data and returns an XML packet.
The fread call will return up to the first double quote in the packet and then die with the following error

RETURNED MALFORMED FILE

the data returned is <?xml version=

I have tried every type of escape function available in PHP to no avail. Is there no way to deal with double quotes in this type of call?

Anon

This is exactly what is returned
RETURNED MALFORMED FILE
<?xml version=

Anon

Can you show us some code?

yes, I have tried everyone of the the read functions fgets, fgetss ... etc. This is being run under 4.0.4pl1 on RH 7.1 in case that helps.

Thanks,

$endchar = chr(26);
$domain = "mydomain.com";
$data = "some data";
$return = '';

$fp = fsockopen($domain, $sock, $errno, errstr);
if(!fp)
{
echo "$errstr ($errno)";
}
else
{
fputs($fp, "$data$endchar");

while (!feof($fp))
{
$return .= fread($fp, 128);
}

fclose ($fp);

}

echo $return
