Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-03 13:31:36] mj@php.net Did you have a look at the pcntl extension, that has been commited to PHP about 4 months ago? If also implements a function pcntl_fork(), that should do exactly what you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-28 15:49:15] danbeck@scott.net I checked the bug database and did not see this anywhere... what is the feasability of creating a fork() implementation in PHP? Obviously this would be useless as an Apache module, but for those of use who use PHP for shell script and administration scripts, this would be a boon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=6406&edit=1
