The maximum number of bytes read is specified by the

parameter, see below).

Optional <parameter>type</parameter> parameter is a named constant:

<constant>PHP_BINARY_READ</constant> (Default) - use the system
<literal>recv()</literal> function. Safe for reading binary data.

<function>socket_read</function> returns the data as a string on success,
or &false; on error (including if the remote host has closed the
connection). The error code can be retrieved with
<function>socket_last_error</function>. This code may be passed to
<function>socket_strerror</function> to get a textual representation of
the error.

<para>
<function>socket_read</function> returns a zero length string ("")
when there is no more data to read.
