Hi there
I have a php web script which communicates with a server using sockets.
There is a method in which the client listens for messages from the
server, and this blocks the client.
I need a way to 'fork' a process or to get this method to run in the
background so that i can process user input while not interrupting the
protocol.
I have searched all over the web with no luck, can anyone point me in
the right direction?
thanks
nic
