Description:
------------
stream_get_line() will block even though data has been received and there are lines ready to be parsed in php's internal buffer. 

It makes it impossible for example to implement a blocking HTTP server as the server will only parse the first line in the HTTP request and then both the server and client will hang as both are waiting for more data.

Test script:
---------------
$c = pcntl_fork();
if ($c > 0) {
$socket = stream_socket_server("tcp://127.0.0.1:10000");
$socket2 = stream_socket_accept($socket);
while (!feof($socket2))
print "server got line: " . stream_get_line($socket2, 1024, "\r\n") . "\n";
print "server done\n";
} else {
sleep(1);
$socket = stream_socket_client("tcp://127.0.0.1:10000");
fwrite($socket, "test #1\r\ntest2\r\ntest3\r\ntest4\r\n");
fread($socket, 1000);
print "client done\n";
}
die(0);


Expected result:
----------------
client done
server got line: test #1
server got line: test2
server got line: test3
server got line: test4
server done

Actual result:
--------------
server got line: test #1

Oops, the expected result should be:

server got line: test #1
server got line: test2
server got line: test3
server got line: test4
server done
client done

Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=322582
Log: - Further fix for bug #60455 (stream_get_line misbehaves if EOF is not detected
  together with the last read).
- Fixed bug #60817 (stream_get_line() reads from stream even when there is
  already sufficient data buffered). stream_get_line() now behaves more like
  fgets(), as is documented.

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Fixed, now the function doesn't try to fill the buffer with $length bytes; it 
behaves more like fgets() typically returning false in the last iteration (if the 
file ends with the delimiter).

I am still seeing this issue using the code given by landeholm at gmail dot com 
(broken down into two scripts because I 'm on Windows). Specifically, referring 
to this line:

print "server got line: " . stream_get_line($socket2, 1024, "\r\n") . "\n";

* with a buffer size of 1024, the read times out
* with buffer sizes smaller or equal to the lines actually being written from 
the client (e.g. tried 5 and 8 bytes) the read works

Just migrated from 11.10 w/ php5.3.6-13 to 12.04 w/ php5.3.10-1 and this new php 
version broken a beanstalkd socket. It does not stop on "\r\n" anymore and hangs 
till timeout, while it works correctly on 5.3.6-13.

This fix is only on 5.3.11, so it's normal you're experiencing the problem in 5.3.10.
