$r = array($network->_connection);
if (socket_select($r,$w=NULL,$e=NULL,0)===false) {
        echo "socket_select failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . "\n";
} else {
... code...
}

somehow neither part of the if/else case gets executed for me, socket_select just seems to "hang".. the $network->_connection is valid (no errors in connecting) and non blocking (no errors here either)..

the code used to work fine for quite some time, also on 4.2.3 now i don't have a clue what goes wrong -> if i send data trough the socket i actually get it on the other side (the application here would be an irc bot, so i see him join the network and then timeout since it hangs on socket_select)

the code for it is on www.sf.net/projects/phpinfobot/ in the cvs, if somebody wants to test it, the important files should be

/infobot.php
/include/system/network.php
/include/system/irc.php

the rest is pretty much non important

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

on windows i get the "same" result with 4.3rc2, just that it hangs on socket_read() not on socket_select

PHP Warning:  socket_read() unable to read from socket [10035]: A non-blocking s
ocket operation could not be completed immediately.
 in D:\respawn\phpinfobot\infobot_win.php on line 28

then it crashes and i get that microsoft "report crash" thingie..

the code related to this:

if (!socket_set_nonblock($this->_connection)) {
  report->info("couldnt set nonblocking mode.\n\n");
}

(this info line above ofcourse doesnt get printed)

as for the debian, i'm not really that much into compiling & everything, and im definetly not fond of it on a "production" server..

Please try the snapshot, iirc, there were some fixed done
which are NOT in RC2.
 [2002-12-10 11:11 UTC] tit dot petric at telemach dot net 
same result on windows rc2, just no more crash

One more try: TRY THE SNAPSHOT.
Not the RC2..(snapshot, as in the given url..)
 [2002-12-10 17:31 UTC] tit dot petric at telemach dot net 
ughm sorry for my rushed english, what i ment to say is..

the snapshot version produces the same output as rc2, just without the crash.

Please provide a complete, self-contained and short example script which can be used to reproduce this.
 [2002-12-11 06:38 UTC] tit dot petric at telemach dot net 
hmm ok, here is the thing.. the script failed on socket_select - but it was from a previous error

before i did socket select i also did a file() on an url - the server was down so i guess somehow the error just got projected to another socket

without the file($url) code i cant replicate it's behaviour, so i removed it. my original report is still valid - socked_select() seemed to stop in its tracks after that invalid file($url) request. (I had debug output before and after to see why/how it hangs and i haddnt suspected file($url) since it wen't without verbosity on that part)

Please provide a complete, self-contained and short example script which can be used to reproduce this.

complete: Begins with <?php, ends with ?> 
self-contained: Does not require anything but itself.
short: 10-15 lines.

I'm having problem with socket_select() as well. Completely stops there even though UDP packets came through the port.
