This script connect's as a server to a irc server ith blocking mode off so it can do otherthings while in the loop
But with connecting... it will hang after reading... and only when i let the irc server push many many data it will continu to function normal... 

<?
	echo "plop<BR>\n"; flush();
	$fp = fsockopen("irc.net.local", 4400);

	if ($fp) {
		fputs($fp,"PASS :wisky\nSERVER Wico.net.local 1 932044265 932044265 J10 A 0 :plop\n");
		set_socket_blocking($fp, 0);
		while (1 < 2) {
			sleep(1);
			echo "reading....";
			flush();
			$out = fgets($fp, 2);
			echo "done<BR>\n";                     /* should come here directly, but isn't */
			flush();                                        /* It's waiting till fgets is finished */
			if ($out) {
				echo "boe: '$out'<BR>\n";
				flush();
			}
		}
	}
