Detecting a closed socket?

[rallan]

IF $sock is a closed socket and I do this.

$test = fread($sock, 1024);
if($test == false)
echo "Socket is closed;

This does not work though, although it does display an error saying the socket was closed by the software in the host machine.
😕

check the fopen return value

Sorry, I meant detecting if the socket was closed by the server after the two computers where connected!.

Does [man]feof[/man] return true immediately if the server closed the socket? Or will it wait for the socket timeout?
