Re: Asynchronous SNMP?

You can run 5 or 6 copies of PHP just fine, way easier than trying to hack together some sort of multi-threading inside of PHP. Just be sure you use a database or other thread-safe storage mechanism. Writing to a common file, for example, would be pretty bad. Actually, under Linux, for small data blocks (4k?) you can safely use fopen(,'a');fwrite();fclose() How that compares to doing the thing in C++ depends a little bit on your relative strengths in C++/PHP, but you'd have to a be a multi-threading C++ guru and a total newbie to PHP for the C++ solution to be easier. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
