[PHP3] some more socket trouble From: Adam Roderick (adam <email protected>)
Date: 07/14/98

Well, you're probably getting tired of hearing from me, but I still cannot
retrieve any information beyond the first line of the socket connection.
Here's a copy of my code:

$fp = fsockopen($server, $port);
fputs($fp, "user username");
fputs($fp, "pass password");
fputs($fp, "list");
fputs($fp, "quit");
###Everything seems to work just fine up to here

echo fpassthru($fp);
/* When I include this line, the program acts like it is stuck in a while
loop, it's hung up on something and is continually reading. */

echo fgets($fp, 200);
/* When I include this line --but take out the line containing
fpassthru()--, the buffer, or first line of the socket "file" is
displayed:
--------
+OK mail.server.com POP3 3.3(20) w/IMAP2 client (Comments to
MRC <email protected>) at Tue, 14 Jul 1998
11:47:06 -0500 (CDT)
--------
Ok, good, that's what it should do. */
fclose($fp)

But I can't retrieve any other information, such as the confirmation or
rejection of the user and the password, nor can I retrieve the list of
messages. I've tried different things, such as changing the position of
and taking out the "fputs($fp, "quit");" command and the "fclose($fp);"
command (no difference), I've tried this:

while(!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets($fp,128);
}

This is straight out of the documentation under "fsockopen".
It seems to act just like fpassthru(), just getting hung up and
continually reading the file. I believe both of these get hung up because
there is no true end of file in the socket connection. If anyone can help
me, please respond, and thanks in advance.
