Compiling PHP

Anon

I was trying to create a socket on win 2000(fsockopen) and use the socket_set_blocking to false (non blocking so that my fgets won't stuck). After using the the above function the socket doesn't function as planed. After research i found out that php has a bug with winsock. I searched and found the replacement code for this specific bug but now i must recompile php on WIN 2000 PRO.
How can i do that? Or is there some other function to read from the socket besides fgets and behave like it in a way that it won't hung if there is no data in the socket?

here's my code:
$fp = fsockopen($host,$port,$errno,$errstr);
if (!$fp)
echo "EROARE: $errno - $errstr \n";
while (!feof($fp))
{
// ce a venit in socket???
$gigi = fgets($fp,4096);
$parsed = explode(" ",$gigi);
if ($parsed[1]=="some event")
fputs($fp,"other event");
}

Please help....

Did you try using socket_get_status ? Check out returns like 'unread_bytes' to indicate whether stuff is waiting to be read perhaps... HTH

Regarding recompiling PHP on win32: that won't be easy. You will need M$ Visual C++ and the Cygwin toolkit as well as the source code. See www.php.net/manual/pt_BR/install-windows.php for a short guide on this.
Or have a look at www.wiwi.uni-rostock.de/~wsf2641/phpwin32/php-ext-win32.htm for a more detailed description, although this is more focussed on writing PHP extensions under win32.
Hope that helped, Ingmar
