Sascha is right... Allow me to reword.. There is no way to allow a php file author the ability to execute php source during module startup of a forking web server. The module would have to allocate and initialize all semaphores before the php source is parsed. This defeats the purpose of a semaphore extension in a forking webserver environment, becuase the php source author would be limited to just the semaphors allocated by the php module. -Jason > - Sascha Experience IRCG > http://schumann.cx/ > http://schumann.cx/ircg >
