Re: php sockets was Re: [PHP] socket_write eats data - solved

Probably your problems about "i can send about seven messages per second" may be relationed to OS's tcp connection stream buffering... try to flush every fd after write to it. I wrote a multi-threaded (pcntl_fork()) application in phpcli using many sockets and they worked well... array iterations are fast and easy too, as they have only one level... so I believe that this is really relationed to socket flushing stuffs...you can also use select() to determine when a fd is ready for write and implement a "write spool"... only a ideia, but probably will spent more time with the same results... well.. flush then may resolve it.
