socket creation!!!

Hi,

i'm using a TCP_IP socket.
everyone knows that in a client/server program, wen client sends a lot of packets continuously and if there is a delay in reading from the socket on the server side, the recv(), call reads everything from the buffer...

thats is the problem i'm facing. so i'm tryin to create a socket with SOCK_SEQPACKET, type... i know we cant use AF_INET family, i tried PF_INET, but it still doesn't work.

can anyone say how to use this sock_seqpacket type???

Thnx,
sri

SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)							 1						      SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)

socket_last_error - Returns the last error on the socket

SYNOPSIS
int socket_last_error ([resource $socket]) DESCRIPTION
If a socket resource is passed to this function, the last error which occurred on this particular socket is returned. If the socket resource is omitted, the error code of the last failed socket function is returned. The latter is particularly helpful for functions like socket_create(3) which don't return a socket on failure and socket_select(3) which can fail for reasons not directly tied to a particular socket. The error code is suitable to be fed to socket_strerror(3) which returns a string describing the given error code. PARAMETERS
o $socket - A valid socket resource created with socket_create(3). RETURN VALUES
This function returns a socket error code. EXAMPLES
Example #1 socket_last_error(3) example <?php $socket = @socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); if ($socket === false) { $errorcode = socket_last_error(); $errormsg = socket_strerror($errorcode); die("Couldn't create socket: [$errorcode] $errormsg"); } ?> NOTES
Note socket_last_error(3) does not clear the error code, use socket_clear_error(3) for this purpose. PHP Documentation Group SOCKET_LAST_ERROR(3)
