problem with select()!!!

[a_n_h]

Hey there,

I have a problem with select() that I would really appreciate if you guys help me out with!
here is some of my code:

CODE DELETED

the problem is, select() times out ALWAYS after the specified time, even when the client is receiving data from the server, I tired everything, spent the last few hours just messing around with the code and reading about select() but to no avail

anyone has any ideas whats the problem?

thank u in advance

You have to cancel the timer if select() has triggered but not timed out, and then reset it after the recv() call.

can you elaborate on that, what do u mean by cancel my timer, do u mean I need to reinitialize my timeval?

EDIT: OFCOURSE, its so simple, how i didnt think of that, so many hours wasted trying to search for what i did wrong, arghhhhhhh, oh well atleast now i fully understand select() since i read its manual like 100000 times, thanks alot dude, really thanks
