PHP 4.0 Bug #1571 Updated: support for mknod(): pipe creation

ID: 1571 Updated by: jimw Reported By: vorlon@netexpress.net Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: refiled against 4.0. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1999-06-19 14:22:43] vorlon@netexpress.net Message-passing between two php3 scripts can be useful under some circumstances (example: implementation of PAM conversation functions). Making pipe creation available directly to php3 scripts on systems which support it provides a much more straightforward way to accomplish this (currently, it appears that inter-script message passing is only possible through either shared memory, or the use of an external database, both of which include unnecessary overhead compared to a pipe). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
