A Simple Socket Client for PHP 5.2+

This library contains one class, SimpleSocketClient, that implements a generic socket client. You can either inherit this class or use instances of this class to write client libraries for any modern text-based protocol.

Fully featured client libraries, included as examples:

• Clamd
• HTTP
• Memcached
• Redis

Features:

• Socket creation, reading, and writing (of course).
• Lazy loading : will not connect until actually needed.
• Automatically deal with end-of-line CRLF sequences.
• Basic key validation and command building helper methods.

Public methods:

• __construct($host, $port, $timeout = 5)
• connect()
• disconnect()
• read($bytes, $autonewline = true, $trim = true)
• readline($trim = true)
• write($string, $autonewline = true)
• validate_key($key)
• build_command()
