Thanks for the feedback, you are correct. I'm adding this in case anyone wanders into this and wanders about it: The problem was due to javascript. By replacing the line which continues to reset the javascript (...scripts[0].src = ...) source with a "timeout" construct the problem was resolved. Evidently, multiple browsers did not like initiating a replace until the prior javascript had finished loading.

I've written a (non polling) script to simulate sockets on localhost. Web page A at http://localhost/test/In.php is a page that the user enters some text with and it gets written into a file. Meanwhile, web page B at http://localhost/test/Out.php is looking at this file and when it changes, it will update web page B with the new text. This is working fine. Now introduce web page C at the same http://localhost/test/Out.php In this case, the second page of B and C to be user refreshed/invoked will notice the change from page A, and after that it stops refreshing, too. Something is clearly wrong, but is it PHP 4.3, Apache 2.0.43, IE 5.5, or (gasp) my code? I have also coded file_get_contents manually with the same results. Reproduce code: --------------- In the test directory have 3 files: In.php: <?php $newWord = @$_POST["newWord"]; ?> <html> <head><title>Input page</title></head> <body> <form method=post> <table><tr><td>Enter a word: </td> <td><input name=newWord value='<?php print($newWord); ?>'></td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td><input type=submit></td></tr> </table> <?php if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=="POST") { $fh = fopen("myWord.txt", "w"); fwrite ($fh, $newWord); print("submitted: $newWord"); } ?> </form></body></html> Out.php: <html> <head><title>Output page</title> <script type='text/javascript'> function openSocket() { document.scripts[0].src = "socket.php"; } </script> </head> <body onLoad='openSocket()'> Your output word is: <div id=myWord><?php print(file_get_contents("myWord.txt")); ?></div> </body> </html> Socket.php <?php header("Content-Type: text/javascript; charset=ISO-8859-1"); $txt = file_get_contents("myWord.txt"); for ($ctr=1;$ctr<15;++$ctr) { $newTxt = file_get_contents ("myWord.txt"); if ($newTxt!=$txt) { print ("top.document.getElementById('myWord').innerText = '$newTxt';\r\n"); print ("document.scripts[0].src = 'socket.php';\r\n"); die(); } sleep(1); } print ("document.scripts[0].src = 'socket.php';\r\n"); Expected result: ---------------- What I expect to have happen is that when multiple browser windows are aimed at http://localhost/test/Out.php that they will all update right away when In.php changes the contents of myWord.txt Actual result: -------------- Only the latter of the two Out.php windows is updated a single time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27494&edit=1
