[Sussex] Setting up a socket - PHP/Fedora

[Brendan Whelan]

Hi Ronan,

Thank you very much for your detailed response and offer of further help.

I have played around with the edited versions you sent me and things have
improved.
I have adapted the code to be nearer my final goal. The server now sits in a
loop awaiting requests from the client. When it receives a request it then
sends a reply. The client simply sends one message and awaits a reply.

There are two problems:

1. The server happily waits until it receives a request/message from the
client but no actual text is received (obviously something is received as
the server waits until it is triggered by the message from the client.)

2. The server doesn't wait for the next request but simply goes around the
loop i.e. the socket_read is always set after receiving the first message.
As a consequence the client only receives on, long, message.

Regards,

Brendan
