Bug #8761 read() on udp-sockets fails
Submitted: 2001-01-17 10:28 UTC Modified: 2001-06-02 21:08 UTC

<?
    $port=7;
    $ip="127.0.0.1";
    $sock=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,IPPROTO_UDP);
    $retval=connect($sock,$ip,$port);

    write($sock,"blaat\n",6);

    $numread=read($sock,&$readdata,1);
    printf("%d %02x %s\n",$numread,ord($readdata),$readdata);

    close($sock);
?>

When changing the 1 on read() to a different number, or when calling it multiple times, the read() function hangs due to an unknown reason (at least for me). This example tries to read from the echo-service, I encountered the problem when developing a radius-client in PHP.

This is the stack of the process:
#0  0x2825b794 in read () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4
#1  0x809dd78 in php_read (fd=4, buf=0x81e512c, maxlen=2) at sockets.c:640
#2  0x809df38 in php_if_read (ht=3, return_value=0x821768c, this_ptr=0x0,
    return_value_used=1) at sockets.c:692

#17 0x8062801 in _start ()

and info on the first two frames:
(gdb) up
#1  0x809dd78 in php_read (fd=4, buf=0x81e512c, maxlen=2) at sockets.c:640
640                       m = read(fd, (void *) t, 1);

(gdb) info locals
t = 0x81e512d "laat"
m = 1
n = 1
no_read = 1
nonblock = 0

(gdb) up
#2  0x809df38 in php_if_read (ht=3, return_value=0x821768c, this_ptr=0x0,

Please try the latest release candidate:

http://www.php.net/~andi/php-4.0.6RC2.tar.gz

And note that using the undocumented 4th parameter
will make it behave like the system read():

read($sock, $buff, $length, PHP_BINARY_READ)
