Ok Ali. But i'm pretty new to this whole socket thing. The guy am working with
actually achieved the same thing as I want to on C#. The code is pretty much
the same as what I have and he says he's receiving the messages. You said the
send and recv methods are in block mode by default. How can I unblock it so
that the messages come in. This task is pretty easy as I'm not doing any
complex socket implementation. Can you go through my short code to see where I
could have gone wrong? Thank you

Subject: Re: [zeromq-dev] PHP Error on Ubuntu
This is not very helpful, the reasons for this to block endlessly are so many
it's hard for me to cover in one email, but I'll list few things to check ...
1) the PHP implementation of setSockOpt() does subscribe to an empty topic ("")
and not some random default topic.
2) the server actually is up and sending messages.
3) the server is using a compatible socket (PUB).
4) this is unlikely, but check and see if port 2060 is tcp wrapped and ACL is
configured, if you don't know what that is, don't worry about it.
According to the latest 0MQ implementation, the recv/send methods are in
blocking mode by default, which explains why you block indefinitely.
Also note that there are other socket options that allows you to timeout after a
certain period of time has elapsed, I'm not sure if this is available for 2.x
but it's available for 3.x. you can emulate the same effect by poll()ing on the
socket for a ZMQ_POLLIN event with a reasonable timeout.
I advise you to read on zguide and actually try to do things at the localhost
level first (both the client and the server side parts) to make sure everything
is working, then deploy your apps accordingly.
