Help required with socket read/write

[Saeven]

Hello,

I have the following code in a server portion of a PHP program:

function getFile( $socket, $file ){

$data  = "";

while( ( ( $buf = @socket_read( $socket, 1, PHP_NORMAL_READ ) ) !== false ) ){

    $data .= $buf;
}

fputs( $file, $data );		
}

And this above function is being written to by:

/*
 * Sends a file
 */
function sendFile( $file, $socket ){

/* send the file */
$fp   = fopen( $file, 'rb' );

while( !feof( $fp ) ){
    $line = fgets( $fp, 512 );
    socket_write( $socket, $line, strlen( $line ) );
}

$data = "\n";
socket_write( $socket, $data, strlen( $data ) );
}

In this first instance, it works perfectly - I need however to read in a binary safe manner, and hence I need to use PHP_BINARY_READ in the first extract - it however doesn't work... I don't know what the problem might be - is it socket_write that is no good? I have also tried sending the trailing \n as \0 under binary_read and still no deal.

Experience required...and appreciated.

Not entirely sure if this will solve the problem, but perhaps if you used fread() instead of fgets() you'll get better behaviour?
