Also note: This is a listening socket (host / server / whatever) -- ie, not created with fsockopen; created with socket_create, socket_bind, socket_listen, socket_accept. There's a note in the manual about this not working properly, but I didn't see it in the bug DB.

It's a non-blocking socket, if that helps

Alright. So, here's what I've dug up so far:

file: [php]/ext/standard/file.c
line: 968
code: zend_fetch_resource(socket_arg TSRMLS_CC,-1,"Socket
-Handle",NULL,1,php_file_le_socket());

This always line returns false for a valid socket resource (I verified the resource using `is_resource($sock)` and `get_resource_type($sock)` for both my listen socket and my message socket. get_resource_type($sock) returns "Socket".

So, when the next line (969), "ZEND_VERIFY_RESOURCE(what);" is called, it determines that 'what' is false and calls RETURN_NULL;

I tried screwing with the args in zend_fetch_resource(...), but I don't know the API well enough (and my C/C++ is more than rusty).

I hope someone takes a look at this soon, I currently have no way of knowing the status of my sockets (I need to know when a client disconnects -> eof )

S

Oops. Regarding my previous comment:

line 968 reads "what = zend_fetch_resource(socket TSRMLS_CC, -1, "File-Handle", &type, 1, le_socket);" in CVS, not what I posted above...

S

Could you try this with a current CVS snapshot?
The file/socket layer has been rewritten so this
should be fixed.

PS: Go for the most recent snap you can find, or better
yet, actually check it out from CVS.
--Wez. :-)

socket_get_status has a return value now, but it still is incorrect. I'm wary of posting code here, because I don't want to present the image of asking for support, but in fact, socket_get_status is not returning a proper value.

socket_get_status now complains about invalid file-handle resource (when the passed resource is a socket resource -- I haven't tried this with an actual file resource (although, that would seem useless)). 

Attached is the code I used to determine this.

$port = "10000";

$listenSock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

socket_bind($listenSock, $ip, $port);
socket_listen($listenSock, 0);

$connected = false;

while (!$connected) {
    $msgSock = @socket_accept($listenSock);
    $connected = is_resource($msgSock);
}

echo "connected...\n";
socket_set_nonblock($msgSock);

Here is my terminal log (terminal of the executing sock2.php):

socket_get_status does not work with sockets from the sockets extension.
I've updated the docs in CVS.
You need to use something like socket_select() to check
the socket status.
