socket deadlock

[Felix Bollenbeck]

Hello all!

Im getting started learning php at the moment...with some difficulties:
I want to comunicate with a java server via sockets:

$socket = socket_create(A F_INET,SOCK_STR EAM,SOL_TCP);
$connection = socket_connect( $socket,'localh ost',3141);
socket_write($s ocket,"someUser Id");
while($data = socket_read($so cket,3141))
{
echo $data;
}

write and read seperatly are fine, but in combination they produce some
deadlock causing a timeout! I googeled a good bit, but couldnt get
ahead.

can you give me any hints for this problem?

TIA,

felix.
