Re: Help with sockets

1) you use whats called an "Itterative Server Model". That is to say you create an list of all the sockets you are using and pass them to "socket_select" (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-select.php) and it will tell you which ones are ready to be read from, which can be written to and which have exceptions. 2) I am not too sure what you mean here but using the select you can find out which socket have info in their buffers and then read it so there will be no blocking on I/O -- ------------------------------------------------------ Stephen Brewster Email: steve@cite.co.uk Tel: 0116 2335545 Mobile: 07776 475849 ICQ: 383095 ------------------------------------------------------ UNIX SEX unzip; strip; touch; finger; mount; fsck; more; yes; umount; sleep "Jeremy" <jeremy@webconflux.com> wrote in message news:004401c22edc$a848a090$0202a8c0@L5... > How can I do the following with PHP? > > 1) Accept more than 1 connections without forking > 2) socket_read and fgets from 2 connections at the same time > > please help! > thanks in advance > > > >
