socket_recv

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5)

socket_recv — Receives data from a connected socket

Описание

int socket_recv ( resource $socket , string &$buf , int $len , int $flags )

Внимание

К настоящему времени эта функция еще не была документирована; для ознакомления доступен только список аргументов.

in case you want to empty/unset $buffer, but failing to do so, try using 0 as flag.
PHP_NORMAL_READ and PHP_BINARY_READ respectively hold 1 and 2 as value.

I've used socket_select and socket_recv with a while loop and found myself in trouble when remote side closed connection. The code below produced infinite loop and socket_select returned immediately (which lead to high cpu time consumption).

<?

socket_set_nonblock
($my_socket);
$streams = array($my_socket/*, ... */);

$lastAccess time();
while (
socket_select($streams$write NULL$except NULLSLEEP_TIME_SECONDSSLEEP_TIME_MILLISECONDS) !== FALSE) {
    if (
in_array($my_socket$streams)) {
        while (@
socket_recv($my_socket$data81920)) {
            echo 
$data;
        }
       
$lastAccess time();
    } else {
        if (
time()-$lastAccess LAST_ACCESS_TIMEOUT) {
            break;
        }
    }
   
// ...
   
$streams = array($my_socket/*, ... */);
}

?>

The solution was simple, but quite hard to find because socket_recv is not documented. socket_recv returns FALSE if there is no data and 0 if the socket is widowed (disconnected by remote side). So I had just to check return value of socket_recv. The problem now sounds stupid, but I've spend some time to find it out.
I hope this will save some of somebody's hair ;)

To read from socket both on linux and windows OS having  flash as a client I use function bellow. $length is the size of  a chunk, not the max length to read. It will continue reading until EOL char  occures or client disconnects (or in case of error), so it works for bigger packets as well.

     function read($descriptor, $length = 1024) {
            $this->method = "read";
            if(!$client){
                echo("No valid socket descriptor !\n");
                return false;
            }
            $read ='';
        while(($flag=socket_recv($descriptor, $buf, $length,0))>0){
              $asc=ord(substr($buf, -1));
            if ($asc==0) {
                $read.=substr($buf,0,-1);
                break;
            }else{
                $read.=$buf;
            }
        }
           if ($flag<0){
            //error
            return false;
        }elseif ($flag==0){
            //Client disconnected
            return  false;
        }else{
              return $read;
        }

     }

I'm glad that Bastion left the above post about the mysterious int flag. He just helped to fix a problem that I've spent six hours on. Here's my code:

for($ct=1; $ct<=$numrecs; $ct++) {
     $rec = "";
     $nr=socket_recv($fp,$rec,77,0);
     print "Rec # $ct -->";
         print "$rec";
         print "<br>";
      }

The code is pretty simple, it just loops through all my records and prints them out. All records are 77 bytes and all end with a period. The first 36 records print perfectly then at 37 things go bad. The records start to get offset. The last few characters of the 37th record end up printing on the 38th record. The data on the sending side was perfect, so I knew that the problem was with socked_recv.

After reading the above post I tried changing the int flag. Changing the flag to 2 worked:
$nr=socket_recv($fp,$rec,77,2);

Now everything lines up perfectly. I had always left int flag as 0 since it's undocumented.

My last post was incorrect. The int flag set to 2 apparently reset the file position pointer so what I was reading was the first record repeatedly. 

My workaroud ended up being the following:

for($ct=1; $ct<=$numrecs; $ct++) {
    $rec = "";
    $nr=socket_recv($fp,$rec,76,0);
       
    //grab the extra bytes.
    $terminator = "";
    while ($terminator != ".") {
        $nr=socket_recv($fp,$terminator,1,0);
    }
   
     $custarray[]=substr($rec,0,76);         
}

It looks like that mysterious flags are just the recv(2) flags passed to your OS syscall and nothing more...

ext/sockets/sockets.c:PHP_FUNCTION(socket_recv)
...
        if ((retval = recv(php_sock->bsd_socket, recv_buf, len, flags)) < 1) {
                efree(recv_buf);
...

for linux you can type `man 2 recv' and you will see complete description of thouse flags.

In PHP version 5.* there is a bug: MSG_DONTWAIT flag is not defined (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48326)

Workaround for the missing MSG_DONTWAIT flag according to the bug report page:

socket_recv()
returns FALSE if client returned no data
returns 0 (zero) if client disconnected

also (asuming case socket_select() "gave" us a "changed" socket):
if 
socket_recv() returned FALSE 
and no bytes were received 
then
client "crashed" (call it disconnected).

else if
socket_recv() returned 0 (zero) 
and no bytes were received 
then
client "normaly" disconnected.

Im pretty sure -- 99.99%.
Example:
<?php
function receive($socket)
{
   
// !
    // on all following cases we assume that
    // socket_select() returned the current socket as "changed"
    // !

Usage example for MSG_PEEK: this function tells if the socket has data available to be read, but preserving it to be read at a future moment.

<?php
// Workaround for the missing define
if(!defined('MSG_DONTWAIT')) define('MSG_DONTWAIT'0x40);

// Function to check if there is data available in the socket
function SocketHasData($socket) {
   
// Based on the following fact:
    // $result=0 -> disconnected, $result=false -> no data

   
$data ''// We need a buffer, but we won't use it

    // MSG_PEEK means to preserve data in the queue, so it can
    // actually be read afterwards
   
$result socket_recv($socket$data1MSG_PEEK MSG_DONTWAIT );

    if (
$result === false) return false// If no data, returns false
   
return true// Otherwise returns true
}
?>

It seems like the flags are just passed to the underlying recv() function of your OS, hence there no MSG_DONTWAIT flag on Windows and you should not define it yourself in that case, it just won't work.
