Ethernet PHP control - I want to stay in a loop and check for a new string

I pondered over what you meant by passing a reference to the client in the function, adding EthernetClient client = server.available(); to the start works fine. Is that what you meant?

Many thanks!

To the start of what?

If you added client as a global variable, that won't work. Each time a client connects, a new client instance is created. You can pass that client instance to a function, using a reference (&).

void loop()
{
   EthernetClient client = server.available();

   myFun(client);
}

voif myFun(EthernetClient &joe)
{
   if(joe.connected())
   {
      // Find out what joe wants
   }
}
