Receive Text up to a Delimiter Byte

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveStringUntilByte, which receives bytes until a specific raw byte value is found, then decodes the preceding bytes using StringCharset. The delimiter is excluded from the returned string.

<?php

use Chilkat2\Socket;

$socket = new Socket();

// Connect to the server using TLS.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
// connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
$bTls = true;
$maxWaitMs = 5000;
try {
    $socket->Connect('example.com', 5000, $bTls, $maxWaitMs);

    // StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
    $socket->StringCharset = 'utf-8';
    // Send a request using a simple application-defined text protocol in which each message ends with a
    // CRLF.
    $command = "STATUS\r\n";
    $socket->SendString($command);

    // Receive bytes until a specific raw byte value is found, then decode the preceding bytes using
    // StringCharset.  The delimiter itself is excluded from the returned string.  Here the delimiter is
    // the linefeed byte (decimal 10).
    $line = $socket->ReceiveStringUntilByte(10);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

echo $line, "\n";
