Description:
------------
Tail for php. Open the file, output the current content... then wait for more - if no more content arrives, then return number of bytes read after a while... 

Running 1 execution of this code works fine. Executing it from two browsers at the same time blocks. 

Happens on Fedora Core 6 default 5.1.6 and also after upgrading to 5.2.1

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://ns1.loonybin.org/php/tail.tar.gz - 45 lines

Expected result:
----------------
See content of file printed immediately. If any content is appended to the file within 15 seconds from request start, that content should be printed as well. 

This works with 1 execution of the code. Should yield same result if executed multiple times. 

Actual result:
--------------
1 run of the code works. Multiple executions however block on semop / epoll_wait. 

semop(4358158, 0x15470c, 1)       = 0 <2.194313>
epoll_wait(16, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=2156798632, u64=13801426109869204136}}}, 2, -1) = 1 <3.738842>

As soon as the first execution of the code has ended, the second will run as expected and finish successfully (as long as max_execution_time is not reached).

Tried php5.2-200707122230 and the behavior does not seem to have changed.

Does that script work in any PHP version? I also get some E_NOTICE for that ob_flush(); call..
 [2007-07-14 17:04 UTC] loony at loonybin dot org 
Sorry about the ob_flush, it can be removed. The code came originally from a larger application and I cut out as much as I could. Must have missed the ob_flush. 

The problem is the same after the ob_flush has been removed.

I am not aware of any PHP version that this works on. I've tried from 4.0.xx to php5.2-200707122230 and none worked properly.

This test script works for me with Apache 2.2 when I access it from two different machines:

<html>
<body>
<pre>
<?php

function tail ($file, $timeout)
{
    $f = fopen ($file, "r");
    if (!$f) {
        return false;
    }
    if (!stream_set_blocking ($f, 0)) {
        return false;
    }

    $curDel = 0;
    while ($curDel < $timeout) {
        $s = fread ($f, 8192);
        if ($s) { // got data
            do {
                echo $s;
            } while ( $s = fread ($f, 8192) );
            flush();
            $curDel = 0;
        } else { // got no data
            sleep (1);
            $curDel += 1;
        }
    }
    fclose ($f);
}
echo getmypid() . " - " . date("s") . "\n";
flush();
tail ("/tmp/test", 15);
?>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

What SAPI are you using? I found problems with FastCGI and flush()..
