socket_set_nonblock
socket_set_nonblock
(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)
socket_set_nonblock — Sets nonblocking mode for file descriptor fd
Description
bool socket_set_nonblock ( resource $socket )
The socket_set_nonblock() function sets the O_NONBLOCK flag on the socket specified by the socket parameter.
When an operation (e.g. receive, send, connect, accept, ...) is performed on a non-blocking socket, the script will not pause its execution until it receives a signal or it can perform the operation. Rather, if the operation would result in a block, the called function will fail.
Parameters
socket
A valid socket resource created with socket_create() or socket_accept().
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 socket_set_nonblock() example
<?php
$socket = socket_create_listen(1223
socket_set_nonblock($socket
socket_accept($socket
?>
This example creates a listening socket on all interfaces on port 1223 and sets the socket to O_NONBLOCK mode. socket_accept() will immediately fail unless there is a pending connection exactly at this moment.
