As a small, personal, "enjoy-myself"-project I'd like to run a perpetual-running socket server. Problem is; I also want it to be self-modifying so I can insert, remove and change functions as the server is running. The problem is; under normal circumstances, PHP won't let the script redeclare functions. Is there any way to circumvent this.
I dont know what a perpetual-running socket server is, but to have a main PHP script execute different functions with the same name I guess you could play with "include/require" directives or create classes with the same function-names you then pass to you main program (kind like poor-mans polymorphism :-)
