Hi Jochem,

As I had said in my earlier post I had already read the php manual section for
socket_write.

JM> socket_write($client, $yresponse, strlen($yresponse));

JM> if that doesn't work, you will be looking at capturing the return value

I tried the strlen($yresponse) length option in socket_write and it did not
matter if I set socket_write to anything larger than 1024. It appears that there
is a buffer with a size of 1024 and in my case the length option would only be
of use if the string I wanted to send was shorter than the size of the buffer.

Rather than capturing the return value of socket_write I broke my test string
into 2 chunks as the total was less than 2048 bytes.

What I tried was

// grab first 1024 bytes
$buffer = substr($yresponse,0,1024);
// send first 1024 bytes
socket_write($client, $buffer);
// replace first 1024 bytes with ''
$buffer = substr_replace($yresponse,'',0,1024);
//send the remainder of the string
socket_write ($client, $buffer);

What I found was that the first 1024 bytes was sent but I still never saw the
second 1024 bytes. It seem the second socket_write is not happening.

Am I on the right track here?
