Wait for a Socket to Become Readable

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SelectForReading, which waits for read-ready activity on the socket, or on any contained socket when the object is a socket set. It returns 1 if ready, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$socket = new CkSocket();

//  Connect to the server using TLS.
$bTls = true;
$maxWaitMs = 5000;
$success = $socket->Connect('example.com',5000,$bTls,$maxWaitMs);
if ($success == false) {
    print $socket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Wait up to 5 seconds for read-ready activity on the socket (or, for a socket set, on any contained
//  socket).  Returns 1 if ready, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.
$ready = $socket->SelectForReading(5000);
if ($ready < 0) {
    print $socket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

if ($ready != 1) {
    print 'No data became available before the timeout.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'The socket has data ready to read.' . "\n";
