hello again
I have been battling this mysterious char thats showing up in the buffer
when i first log onto my chat, or else try to add new things to the logon
function, I am getting the code not to "fall through" to the next prompt
however, using $varname = socket_recv($sock, $read, 1024, 0)
this won't put anything but a number in that variable, say for example the
passwd was 'test'(just for the sake of testing for now), the password
would end up being not test, but maybe the number 5 I'm assuming its
returning the number of digits but this is totally not what I expected,
and the manual for socket_recv is um, well for a lack of better wording,
its not there on the website anymore, all except the format of it, no
descriptions or anything, should i be using something else instead of
socket_recv()?
