Problems creating a persistent socket

[dheberger]

I have an application that is a client. The client connects to a host who sends data to the client every n seconds. My client connection is only receiving the first data dump. Also I never seem to exit the while loop; my close socket echo never gets printed. Can anyone help?

Here is my code:

$fp = stream_socket_client("127.0.0.1:2023", $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
fwrite($fp, "user H1GHLD pass 12511\n\r");
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp);
}
echo('close socket');
fclose($fp);
}
