get NAMES eventually crashes Apache

[Peter]

I am not too familiar with SmartIRC but i have been trying to use it with an UnReal IRC server. All i want SIRC to do is give me a list of names on a channel. This seems to "mostly" work:

  include_once('SmartIRC/SmartIRC.php');

  $irc = &new Net_SmartIRC();
  $irc->setUseSockets(true);
  $irc->connect('192.168.1.101', 6667);
  $irc->login('Net_SmartIRC_Scanner', 'Net_SmartIRC Client', 0, 'Net_SmartIRC');
  $irc->join(array('#TheSportsConnection'));
  $irc->names(array('#TheSportsConnection'));
  $resultar = $irc->listenFor(SMARTIRC_TYPE_NAME);
  $irc->disconnect();

  $names = explode(" ",$resultar[0]);

  foreach ($names as $key=>$name) {
    if ($name == "") unset ($names[$key]);
    if (stristr($name, "@")) $names[$key] = str_replace("@", "", $name);
  }

BUT - for some reason if i do a refresh on the page that holds this routine, after a few refreshes my Apache process pegs my CPU at 100%.

Any idea if i can use this with UnReal?

Any idea if this is the right way to get a list of names off a channel?

Any idea why it crashes Apache?

I have the latest CVS version of SIRC and i do have php sockets enabled.

thanks,
Peter...

more info...

I tried running my page through my php debugger; and after the 4th refresh i get:

SmartIRC.php - line 1561
  $rawdata = @socket_read($this->_socket, 10240); 

socket_read() unable to read from socket (10053)

does this help anyone????

Try this:

<?php
include_once('SmartIRC/SmartIRC.php');

$irc = &new Net_SmartIRC();
$irc->setDebug(SMARTIRC_DEBUG_NONE);
$irc->setUseSockets(TRUE);
$irc->connect('192.168.1.101', 6667);
$irc->login('Net_SmartIRC', 'Net_SmartIRC Client', 0, 'Net_SmartIRC');
$irc->names(array('#TheSportsConnection'), SMARTIRC_MEDIUM);
$resultar = $irc->objListenFor(SMARTIRC_TYPE_NAME);
$irc->disconnect();

$usersonirc = $resultar[0]->messageex;
foreach ($usersonirc as $value) {
       //do stuff here
    echo "$value<br />\n";
}
?>

Works fine for me, plenty of refreshes, no errors or crashes...

Scratch the above comment... after about 20 refreshes, I go the same result, apache freaked out and maxed out the cpu.

Something is drastically wrong with SmartIRC.

I seem to recall seeing something about sockets timeout settings causing this behaviour somewhere...
