eio_read — Read from a file descriptor at given offset
$fd,$length,$offset,$pri,$callback,$data = NULL
   eio_read() reads up to length
   bytes from fd file descriptor at
   offset. The read bytes are stored in
   result argument of callback.
  
fdStream, Socket resource, or numeric file descriptor
lengthMaximum number of bytes to read.
offsetOffset within the file.
priThe request priority: EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, EIO_PRI_MIN, EIO_PRI_MAX, or null.
If null passed, pri internally is set to
EIO_PRI_DEFAULT.
callback
Die callback-Funktion wird aufgerufen, wenn die Anfrage abgeschlossen ist.
Sie muss dem folgenden Prototyp entsprechen: 
void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);datasind die benutzerdefinierten Daten, die an die Anfrage übergeben werden.
resultder anfragespezifische Ergebniswert; im Grunde der Wert, der vom entsprechenden Systemaufruf zurückgegeben wird.
reqist eine optionale Anfrage-Ressource, die in Funktionen wie eio_get_last_error() verwendet werden kann.
data
     Arbitrary variable passed to callback.
     
  eio_read() stores read bytes in
  result argument of callback
  function.
  
Beispiel #1 eio_read() example
<?php
// Open a temporary file and write some bytes there
$temp_filename = "eio-temp-file.tmp";
$fp = fopen($temp_filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, "1234567890");
fclose($fp);
/* Is called when eio_read() is done */
function my_read_cb($data, $result) {
    global $temp_filename;
 // Output read bytes
    var_dump($result);
 // Close file
    eio_close($data);
    eio_event_loop();
 // Remove temporary file
    @unlink($temp_filename);
}
/* Is called when eio_open() is done */
function my_file_opened_callback($data, $result) {
 // $result should contain the file descriptor
    if ($result > 0) {
  // Read 5 bytes starting from third
        eio_read($result, 5, 2, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_read_cb", $result);
        eio_event_loop();
    } else {
  // eio_open() failed
        unlink($data);
    }
}
// Open the file for reading and writing
eio_open($temp_filename, EIO_O_RDWR, NULL,
    EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_file_opened_callback", $temp_filename);
eio_event_loop();
?>Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
string(5) "34567"
