The best way around this (IMHO) is to define a php_fd_set something like: struct php_fd_set { fd_set the_set; int max_fd; }; Then, whenver someone calls fd_set() or fd_zero(), change php_fd_set.max_fd appropriately as well as updating php_fd_set.the_set, and in socket_select(), check all of the max_fd values. Removing the first arg to socket_select(), if that's implemented, wouldn't be a bad idea either. Chris
