    socket_close() problem

    Hi to everybody.

    First, let mi apologize if I'm doing a newbe question: I'm not a PHP
    programmer, but I have to solve a problem located in a PHP web page.
    Thanks in advance if you try to help me.

    I have a Linux host (Suse 9.2 2.6.8-24.14-smp) running
    apache2-2.0.50-7.3 and php4-4.3.8-8.2. In this host there is also a C
    custom made server. The PHP web page opens a socket in order to send
    data to the C server. The problem happens when the web page close the
    connection using socket_shutdown ($socket,2); and socket_close($s ocket);
    At this moment the socket connection ends (after a short TIME_WAIT
    state), but the C server socket file descriptor remains until it is
    stopped. There aren't error messages or values.

    This is a lsof (list open files) screen showing the problem:

    pcotcpvie 6509 mem REG 3,2 106308 8857
    /lib/ld-2.3.3.so
    pcotcpvie 6509 mem REG 3,2 1359489 8882

    protocol
    pcotcpvie 6509 17u sock 0,4 22669 can't identify
    protocol

    At every new connection close, it appears a new "can't identify
    protocol" line

    This problem don't happen if I use a C client to connect to the C
    server, so this let me to think that the problem is in the PHP code or
    maybe in the apache config.

    The fact is that I'm very disconcerted. I haven't found any information
    on the net, so I will apreciate your suggests.

    Kind regards!
