Like This:? $socket = socket_create(...); $client[$i]['sock']; You need to do it like this: $client[$i]['sock'] = socket_create(...); Why are you using something like this anyways though? Wouldn't it be easier to use some sort of daemon? When processing one client your script will not be able to handle any of the others if you use the way you are using now. However, if you run it as a daemon, forking the process everyone someone connects, then it will be a separate process for each client and you wont have latency issues. Just a thought. Matt
