PHP
1

Hi, can anyone help me please to enlighten my mind of the usage of stream_select ?

http://www.php.net//manual/en/function.stream-select.php

I really could not understand on how to use it.

Thank you in advance.

Does your code already use streams or are you saying “how could I use this function?”

yes I already have this kind of code,maybe you are right how could i use this function

Here is my code…the problem is that i have another script that will connect to same server ip and port…but the second script is not working because there is other script that is already running.but if i will stop the first script and run the second script it receives data…that’s why i want to know how to use stream_select because i know it will accept multiple connection.

first.php


 $server = stream_socket_server('tcp://'.$ipserver.':'.$port, $errno, $errorMessage);

    if(!$server) {
        echo "Error in socket";
    }
    else{

        while($client = @stream_socket_accept($server,$timeout)) {
               stream_copy_to_stream($client, $logfile);
               fclose($logfile);
               fclose($client);


        }

    }

this is my other script
second.php


 $server = stream_socket_server('tcp://'.$ipserver.':'.$port, $errno, $errorMessage);
	

    if(!$server) {
        echo "Error in socket";
    }
    else{

	
        while($client = @stream_socket_accept($server,$timeout)){
		    
	      stream_socket_sendto($client,"sending message", STREAM_OOB);
             $message = fread($client,1024);
             echo "receive data".$message;
              fclose($otherlogfile);
              fclose($client);
		
        }
    
    }

Thank you in advance.
