is this the right way for getting data forma  socket or is there a better way?

this way cuts off data

Then obviously, it is not the right way.

I have to have them twice becuase once lets bnet know that i want to login and the next time tells bnet my login stuff.

This is incorrect.  Unless your language has fundamental flaws in its socket suite (which I find to be astronomically unlikely), you're doing something wrong and have convinced yourself that this is the fix.  I would not be greatly surprised to see that the result of your "fix" is that the first thing your client does upon logging on is to announce its name and password in channel.  The use of the second ^C might be saving you from this - it's been ages since I've used chat and I don't care enough to go find out if you're releasing your password.


fputs($server, "\x03$username\r\n$password\r\n");
fgets($server);
$SocStatus = socket_get_status($server);
$data = fread($server, $SocStatus['unread_bytes']);


does anyone know an alternate way to connect and retrieve data from the socket with php?

Have you checked a reference manual or PHP tutorial?  That question seems awfully basic.

yea i have php.net and it gives me fread fgets but its basically the same ican't seem to find a ocmmand that doesn't cut off my data...

.net hrm?  maybe I'll just give you my .net class library to get you to shut up.

EDIT: I'm sorry, that was really harsh, and if Kp can be so patient with this guy, then I really ought to try too.

sorry im not trying ot be fdifficult its jsut went to the guid at http://www.php.net and it helped a little, it jsut didn't work for wut i was trying to do

Tips for not being a pain in the arse (in all seriousness):

- READ the replies to your questions THOROUGHLY.
- If you don't understand the first time, read them again.
- Make a sincere attempt to use the advice given to you before asking more questions.
- Spellcheck your posts, or be more careful when typing them. If you're bad at communicating people will be less inclined to help you.
- Think about your questions before you ask them. Do you really think that truncating (cutting off) your data is a feature of fgets()? If not, what possible use would it be to try a different function? The fault is plainly with your code, therefore, look more carefully. Try to break down the problem so it's easier to grasp.

You have picked a fairly hard thing to write for what I assume is your first (or one of your first) PHP scripts. You might want to try learning on some simpler things and coming back to this later.

how come using this php script it keeps cutting off data?


$ip = "useast.battle.net";
$port = "6112";

$server = fsockopen("tcp://".$ip, $port , $errno, $errstr , 30);
$SocStatus = socket_get_status($server);

fputs($server, "\x03$username\r\n\x03$password\r\n");

while($data2 = fread($server, 1024)) {
$cut = explode("\n", $data2);
$i = 0;
$count = count($cut);
while($i < $count) {
$i++;
$cut2 = "<li>$cut[$i]</li>";
echo $cut2;
}
}


here is wut i get from it

Because you are not checking if the data is followed by a newline \n character before putting the last bit into the final array element.

TCP sent you the data in chunks, and you cannot assume it is an entire line of chat.  The first chunk was about 502(?) bytes.  Your code is processing the last element as if it were completed.

Explode should only be used up to and including the final \n character in the text stream.  Anything after the final \n, put that in your inbuffer and to wait for more text.

So instead of \n for explode would " " work (Space)?

It would definitely work, but I expect it will produce even less desirable results than your current method (which, as Grok said, is flawed).  Perhaps you should simply try these things instead of asking?

wut way would you recommend so i can get the easiest results?

right now my way causes the script to time out

Do exactly what Grok said.  His solution is correct and should be pretty straightforward even for you to implement.

Grok said to store anything after the \n.

How would i get the results after \n?

That's a language specific question, and it's specific to a language few (if any) of the people in this thread know.  Look at the documentation for explode, it might tell you.  Failing that, ask a PHP guru how to handle retrieving the final fragment of an explode.
