Hi
In Perl there is the predefined $0 which contains the name of the file
containing the Perl script being executed. Is there an equivalent in PHP?
I am working on converting a Listener script from Perl to PHP and at one point
when the script forks it has a line
$0 = "Listener is accepting connections on Port $port";
When this Perl script is running and I do a ps I see a process ID with the
program being
Listener is accepting connections on Port $port
instead of the actual name of the Perl script.
Is such a thing possible in PHP? If so how? I have been Google searching for a
while and can not see one way or the other if it is possible.
