Sockets! Argh :)

Hi all,

I'm currently coding a sockets based client which talks to a remote server. I've used the same code I've used for another project but with this one I have no control over the data sent by the remote side.

The problem is with the code I've used, it only seems to retain the last line in the data. I'm expecting it to send me back

=====================

200 OK
.

=====================

But with the following code:

    function _Read() {
            $buf_reading = true;
            $str_buffer = "";
            $str_data = "";

            while(($str_buffer = socket_read($this->socket, 1024, PHP_NORMAL_READ)) !== false) {
                    $str_data .= $str_buffer;

                    if(preg_match("'\r\n$'s", $str_data)) {
                            break;
                    };
            };

            unset($buf_reading);
            unset($str_buffer);

            return trim($str_data);
    }

all I get back in the return of the function is ".". I would appreciate any help! Running on PHP 5.0.0RC2.

i'm really new to sockets also so i'm not sure i'm going to be much help here...

i do know that PHP_NORMAL_READ breaks socket messages up at newline characters (\n). maybe that's your problem? although i see you do have a loop to get all the data.

this line seems weird to me:

if(preg_match("'\r\n$'s", $str_data)) { 
break; 
}; 
};

seems to me it would break after '200 OK\n' but you get '.' instead? perhaps you should change it to break when you read a \0 instead?

sorry i can't be more helpful.
