It would help if you actually read what people were saying.

is this a good loop to get data.  I tested it and it worked fine the only problem was that it kept timing out


while ( !feof( $socket ) ) {
  $ret = fgets( $socket, 4096 );
  echo "<li>$ret</li>";
}


Well, if it has a problem, then it isn't.

Your loop, as implemented, has a problem.  The problem is:

The problem is:

If your data contains incomplete data (a line from chat without a newline at the end) your code does not take that into consideration.  It puts that last, incomplete line into the final array element which was created by explode().  By then processing that final element as if it were a complete line of chat, you are getting the visible impression of reality -- that TCP breaks up data wherever the hell it wants, and leaves it up to you to make sure the contents are complete.

How to fix?  Easy.  Only allow explode to operate on your buffer's contents up to the final newline character.  Anything after that character you need to put back in the buffer.

After you fix that, you'll realize your program has an additional, major, structural problem.
