problem with fsockopen & fgets

[Colin Bell]

I'm stuck on a problem with getting data from a XML data stream. This
stream is large and trying to use fsockopen to get the stream down.

I've tetsed the code by telneting into the machine/port but I am
getting some of the data but not all. I don't know the stream size.

Code snippit below:

function txrx($server, $port, $tx){
$rx = "";
if ($server == "") {
$rx = "Error - Missing Server";
}
if ($port == "") {
$rx = "Error - Missing Port";
}
$fp = fsockopen($server, $port);
if($fp) {
fputs($fp, $tx);
$rx .= fread($fp, 2048);
fclose($fp);
}
return $rx;

}
Any suggestions ?

Can you please post to the group and send me an e-mail at

Thanks

Yes. you are only reading the first 2048 bytes. Look at this example FROM THE
DOCS and compare it to yours... the problem should be obvious...

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
$out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
?>

If this is being sent to an HTTP server, you need to follow the HTTP
protocol. In that case you may want to try this HTTP client class that
provides a way to send files either by emulating POST form uploading or
just by submiting the XML file in the request body.
