I have the following problem:

$fp	=fsockopen($server, 8611, &$errno, &$errstr);
while(feof($fp)!=true) {
	echo "X";		# for debuging
	flush();		# for debuging
	fflush($fp);		# for debuging

	$str.=fgetc($fp);	# or fgets($fp,2); or fread($fp,1);

	echo "Y";		# for debuging
	flush();		# for debuging
	fflush($fp);		# for debuging
} # while


Would produce "XYXYXYXYXYXYX"

When the received data looks like "%00%0A%00%00%00%00%00%00"
in HEX. That means at the last character which is a NULL-byte
the fgetc or fgets or fread would hang!

BUT fread($fp,8); works! But I need it for variable length as
well!

Thanks for the help

I don't see a bug here. At least on my system, it reads 8
characters, and then waits for the next one - since eof is
not signalled until the connection is closed. So it's
completely OK. Please check that it indeed sends 8
characters and reads only 6 and then hangs - I was unable to
reproduce this on my system.
