Description:
------------
When using stream_select() on pipes returned by proc_open() in Windows, input streams that are not ready are returned in the modified $read array.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$pipes = array();
$proc = proc_open('c:/progra~1/gnu/gnupg/gpg.exe', array(
     0 => array('pipe', 'r'),
     1 => array('pipe', 'w'),
     2 => array('pipe', 'w')), $pipes, null, $_ENV);

if ($proc !== false) {
    $write  = array($pipes[0]);
    $read   = array($pipes[1], $pipes[2]);
    $except = null;

    $changed = stream_select($read, $write, $except, null);

    if ($changed) {
      print_r($read);
      print_r($write);
    }

    proc_close($proc);
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
The read array will be empty and the write array will contain stdin.

Actual result:
--------------
The read array contains stdin and the write array contains stdout and stderr. The stdout and stderr streams have no data ready and fread() will block indefinitely.

Please check the used PHP version. (phpinfo(); usually is the best way)

Jani,

I'm using the MSI install of PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built Apr 30 2008 16:19:00) on Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2.

I encountered the same problem with stream_select but when using named pipes (created with posix_mkfifo and opened using fopen). Is there a workaround for this problem?

Thank you,
Pavel

Sorry i forgot to mention that for me it happens in Linux: CentOS 5, php 5.2.6 (and also tried on CentoOS 5, php 5.2.1)

Thank you,
Pavel

Jani,

I tried the posted development snapshot and the test still fails. The stream_select() call still returns stdout and stderr streams  in the read array and reading from either will block indefinitely (because they're not ready).

Please reopen this bug.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

function loadModule ( $moduleName ) {
 $descriptorspec = array(
  0 => array("pipe", "r"),
  1 => array("pipe", "w"),
  2 => array("file", "errors.txt", "a")
 );
 $module = proc_open ( 'I:\httpd\php\php.exe I:\httpd\php-irc-bot\module.' . $moduleName . '.php', $descriptorspec, $pipes, NULL, array ( 'RUNFIRST' => true ) );
 $this -> runningModules[$moduleName] = $module;
 echo "Registered new module: $moduleName\r\n";
 $this -> pipes[$moduleName] = $pipes;		
} 

... few code ...

foreach ( $this -> pipes as $module => $pipes ) {				
 fwrite ( $pipes[0], $msg );					
 $forChange[] = $pipes[1];					
}
$r = NULL;
$e = NULL;
$sock_change = stream_select ( $forChange, $r, $e, 0, 20 );				
if ( $sock_change > 0 && $sock_change !== false ) {				
foreach ( $forChange as $key => $stream ) {			
 echo fread ( $stream, 4096 );	
 }	
}

PHP 5.2.2, 5.2.8, 5.3 (Windows Vista 64bit, x86 build, running from CLI) still not working. After 3/4 of year still not fixed. PHP6 says some warnings, never seen before ("Cannot cast a filtered stream on this system", complete errors: http://clip2net.com/clip/m12051/1233956312-clip-16kb.png
