Re: Write a FIFO file

Ok, I tried it before, it didn't work: For example, <?php $filename = "fifo" ; $dataFile = fopen( $filename, "a" ) ; if ( $dataFile ) { fwrite($dataFile,"TEST IN FIFO FILE\n"); fclose($dataFile); } else { die( "fopen failed for $filename" ) ; } ?> fifo file created as root: mkfifo fifo chmod 777 fifo Try to execute it and execution never ends... browser is waiting for ever ... No errors in error php error log. Any ideas? Jay Blanchard wrote:
