( int
$shmid
, int $start
, int $count
)shmop_read() will read a string from shared memory block.
Parameters

-
start -
Offset from which to start reading
-
count -
The number of bytes to read
Return Values
Returns the data or FALSE on failure.
Examples

When i need to read the whole string at that shm pointer, setting the count parameter to zero (0) seems work for me.Also you can use the shmop_size() function to determine the block size.shmop_read() reads and returns the whole memory segment's data. This is not useful if you're just working with strings. If you need to read a string from shared memory, call str_from_mem() on the result of shmop_read(). Similarly when writing strings to memory (instead of binary data), null terminate your strings with str_to_nts() before passing the value on to shmop_write().
function str_to_nts($value) {
return "$value\0";
}
function str_from_mem(&$value) {
$i = strpos($value, "\0");
if ($i === false) {
return $value;
}
$result = substr($value, 0, $i);
return $result;
}
With shmop_read, you probably get a "\0" - padded string.
$zero_padded = shmop_read($shm_seg, 0, 128);
$usable_string = rtrim($zero_padded, "\0");
