TCP Client Example:

I was given these two links for ready-made server/client combo.

what I don't understand is, it seems both uses

While 1

WEnd

to loop the send/recv of messages, how do I run the rest of the script to process the $data if the script uses an infinite loop for tcp functions alone ?

The loop is to constantly poll for data ($data)

What you do when you receive data is up to you, you could call a function

If $data <> "" then MyFunc($data)

But you always come back to this loop to poll for more data

Do you mean, while the loop is infinite, somehow the rest of the non-server/client related script can run?

What does it choose which line to run?

Yes the loop is infinite

If you didn't have a loop. you would start your server, it would check for data, chances are there wouldn't be any data so it would exit
