stream_socket_recvfrom Receives data from a socket, connected or not stringstream_socket_recvfrom resourcesocket intlength intflags string&address The function stream_socket_recvfrom accepts data from a remote socket up to length bytes. If address is provided it will be populated with the address of the remote socket. The value of flags can be any combination of the following: STREAM_OOB Process OOB (out-of-band) data. STREAM_PEEK Retrieve data from the socket, but do not consume the buffer. Subsequent calls to fread or stream_socket_recvfrom will see the same data. ]]> If a message received is longer than the length parameter, excess bytes may be discarded depending on the type of socket the message is received from (such as UDP). See also stream_socket_sendto, stream_socket_client, and stream_socket_server.
