note 102249 modified in function.socket-write by danbrown

Some clients (Flash's XMLSocket for example) won't fire a read event until a new line is recieved.

<?php
	/*
	 * Write to a socket
	 * add a newline and null character at the end
	 * some clients don't read until new line is recieved
	 *
	 * try to send the rest of the data if it gets truncated
	 */
	function write(&$sock,$msg) {
		$msg = "$msg\n\0";
		$length = strlen($msg);
		while(true) {
			$sent = socket_write($sock,$msg,$length);
			if($sent === false) {
				return false;
			}
			if($sent < $length) {
				$msg = substr($msg, $sent);
				$length -= $sent;
				print("Message truncated: Resending: $msg");
			} else {
				return true;
			}
		}
		return false;
