socket_read

Description

The socket_read of Sockets for PHP reads a maximum of length bytes from a socket.

Syntax

socket_read(
    Socket $socket,
    int $length,
    int $mode = PHP_BINARY_READ
): string|false

Parameters

socket

A Socket instance created with socket_create() or socket_accept().

length

The maximum number of bytes read is specified by the length parameter. Otherwise you can use \r, \n, or \0 to end reading (depending on the mode parameter, see below).

mode

A named constant.

ConstantDescription
PHP_BINARY_READUse the system recv() function. Safe for reading binary data.
PHP_NORMAL_READReading stops at \n or \r.

Return

Returns the data as a string on success, or false on error (including if the remote host has closed the connection).

The error code can be retrieved with socket_last_error(). This code may be passed to socket_strerror() to get a textual representation of the error.

NOTE: socket_read() returns a zero length string ("") when there is no more data to read.
