Im having a similar problem, Im working on an IRC bot, Im using the
latest stable version for windows, (4.3.3 i think) and Windows XP
professional with all the latest updates.
Obviously, when i do socket_read with PHP_NORMAL_READ, it returns
nothing, but PHP_BINARY_READ works fine.
Please fix this, I have been looking for help for a long time, Many
people told me PHP_NORMAL_READ is currently buggy at the moment.

I have this problem on PHP 4.3.2 with FreeBSD 4.8.
socket_read() will return an infinate amount of "\n" from the socket.
This ends up using a LOT of cpu as you can well imagine.
I had to write a script to kill all php processes when over 40% cpu
usage. (This was before I knew about the infinate \n output).

I'm having similar problems (PHP 4.3.1 / Windows 2003 Server Ent).
Seems that adding PHP_NORMAL_READ will cause socket_read() to fail:
Warning: socket_read() unable to read from socket [0]
While ommiting the parameter will cause socket_read() to either not
reading all the data available, or cause a never ending loop.
Hope this helps

I am having a similar problem with the latest -STABLE snapshot from
8:30GMT today. When I use socket_read with PHP_NORMAL_READ, I get no
data returned and 'Operation completed successfully' as the returned
error.
This is on a Win2k SP3 system, IIS 5.0, again with the latest -STABLE
snapshot. This also occurs with 4.3.2-RC2.
I would be happy to test patches but I do not have the means to compile
a new PHP so I am depending on the SNAPSHOTs.

I'd like to supply some feedback to this bug. I'm operating in nearly
an identical environment: FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE, PHP 4.3.1 CLI.
It seems that specifying PHP_NORMAL_READ works, however it'll give an
erroneous error:
$buf = socket_read($csock,4096,PHP_NORMAL_READ);
will yield:
socket_read() unable to read from socket [54]: Connection reset by
peer
but:
$buf = socket_read($csock,4096);
will give no error. Now both the above situations are when less than
4096 bytes of data are written on the other end of the socket. If I
specify a length of 5 and write 5, I don't believe I see the error,
however, placing the PHP_NORMAL_READ call in a loop will iterate an
extra time and cause the error again.
I know my report is bit a scant, but I can supply any additional data
if needed.
Regards
