I am writing a script that connects to somekind of telnet server, and
returns the answers the server gives.
Everything works fine until I have to start writing a loop. I want to give a
command which will give an answer of more than 1 line, but I do not know how
many lines it will be in total.
So I wrote something like this:
// get the list
fputs ($fp, "list all\n");
$list = "1";
while (!$list=="") {
$list = fgets($fp, 50);
echo "$list<BR>" ;
}
I tried also a few other loops like "while ($i < 100) or while(!feof) etc.
but they take over 40 seconds to show 4 lines of text.
But if I would do something like:
fputs ($fp, "list all\n");
$line1 = fgets($fp, 50);
$line2 = fgets($fp, 50);
$line3 = fgets($fp, 50);
etc.
It is ready within a second. Anybody knows how I can speed this up? I
already tried other functions like fread, fpassthru, all worked, but as
evenly slow.
Who can help me out?
Thanks!
And apologies if this is a n00b question.
