Test: sockets blocking vs. not

Normal sockets in PHP are blocking. Does using a select manually improve things for just a single socket? Note this test depends on external things, and so is fairly inaccurate.

Code

The first test, "blocking", was:

$fp = fsockopen('127.0.0.1', 80, $errno, $error);
fwrite($fp,
	'GET / HTTP/1.1' . "\r\n" .
	'Host: localhost' . "\r\n\r\n");

$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = fread($fp, 100);
fclose($fp);

The second test, "non-blocking", was:

$fp = fsockopen('127.0.0.1', 80, $errno, $error);
stream_set_blocking($fp, false);

$r = array($fp);
$w = array($fp);
$e = array();

if (stream_select($e, $w, $e, 2))
	fwrite($fp,
	'GET / HTTP/1.1' . "\r\n" .
	'Host: localhost' . "\r\n\r\n");

if (stream_select($r, $e, $e, 2))
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = fread($fp, 100);

fclose($fp);
