reached the end of data error

I just received an error while trying to send an email:
"reached the end of data while reading from the SMTP server conection"

It has worked before. PHP 5.2.11
Anyone?

Thanks

This means that the server disconnected while the class was trying to read the server response.

It is hard to tell what happened. Maybe if you set the debug variable and show the class output that is displayed I can figure what happened.

Here's the log:

Resolving SMTP server domain "localhost"...
Connecting to host address "127.0.0.1" port 25...
Connected to SMTP server "localhost".
Cound not send the message to backup@xxx.com. Error: reached the end of data while reading from the SMTP server conection

After endless testing I found that we have a BUG in PHP 5.2.11:

bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49706&edit= ...

The code aborts due to the feof query:
if(feof($this->connection))
{
$this->error="reached the end of data while reading from the SMTP server conection";
return("");
}

It seems the connection is ended before the data arrives from the server. Try changing the timeout values to 0 or an high value.

Yep, that's what I thought first.
But I soon noticed that it had to be something else.

Then I conducted a quick test with:
$fp=fsockopen('localhost',25,...); if ($fp) echo fgets(...);
Working.

As soon as I put the fgets in a while(!feof($fp)) loop I faced the problem again.

Conclusion: feof is sometimes true and sometimes false.

I got rid of the problem by commenting the if(feof($this->connection)) in your GetLine() function as a temporary solution.

Thanks cappac for the PHP FEOF BUG FINDING.

Hi
I have the same problem and should we say that we can solve this problem by upgrading the php version on Windows XP and Server 2008. If so, please advise for the version to upgrade to.

Regards

The bug report says it is fixed in PHP 5.2.12 or later. So the upgrade may work.
