bool stream_set_blocking ( resource stream, int mode)
Then if no data is available for a longer time (it's up to you), you can break out of the loop and do something else.

I am running php as a client and I have the script running 24/7 to download the data from the connection. Is there a function to see if the connection drops. ??
is there a way to keep restart the function in the script. perhaps use a while and exit the function with a number exit(3) and use that value as the condition in the while?

I have done this but it does not seem to ever get to the end of file, I
have
it inserting the values into the database, it goes for awhile around 12 to
24 hours and then stops inserting the values into the database and I have
to
restart the script...
ah.. so it sound like the connection is dropping at some point thus
your socket becomes not usuable.
From my previous post you can use
http://php.net/stream_set_timeout
btw, any reason why your using pfsocketopen vs. just fsocketopen?
the pfsocketopen would be only needed if you plan on using that
socket on a different page request.
Come to think of it the pfsocketopen might even give you problems
even if you use the stream_set_timeout function.
