I find your responses to my e-mails quite humorous. Upon review -- aside from a single WTF -- I don't think I was condescending in any way shape or form. I was just trying to offer help.
After reading about wrappers, I find it doubly humorous that you didn't just disregard my e-mail when I asked you why you were using "php://". It's not like I said: "php://" isn't a valid protocol. "http://"; and "ftp://"; are all PHP supports. I just said "Why are you using php://" below? And I also qualified my statements about fsockopen() and set_stream_blocking by saying "I seem to remember" and "If I remember correctly". And, yes, in PHP 3.0 or whatever it was that was true. Hence the "if I remember". So, it would seem to me that as soon as you got to the WTF you should have said, "This guy thinks I am a noob". And at that point you should have just said "thanks but you're wrong". And, just for the record, you never explicitly stated that you needed a reason to read in only one character at a time. You just sent a bunch of code down the pipe. So it seems quite natural to assume you're just making a noobish mistake -- reading a char at a time when a string will do. Anyways, you are running an infinite loop and I don't quite see how this is exiting: while (1) { if () else } But, hey, more power to you if you've gotten to the level where you don't understand why people who don't understand some esoteric function are such muppets. BTW: If you insist on keeping up with the flamethrowers kindly e-mail me off list so as not to bother others on the listserv. -Dan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
