Here's a test for those interested. Ran this on Solaris 8 SPARC. #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> int main () {

    FILE *fd;
    int i = 0;
    char filename[30];

    while (1) {
        sprintf(filename, "tests/test%d.txt", i++);
        fd = fopen(filename, "r");
        if (fd == NULL) {
            printf("died on %d, %d, %s\n", i, errno, strerror(errno));
            exit(1);
        }
    }

} Ran this through two tests. ulimit says the max for open files per process is 1024. Here's the results, first with the stock libraries, then with sfio: [jay@portabuddy jay]$ gcc -g test.c [jay@portabuddy jay]$ ./a.out died on 254, 24, Too many open files [jay@portabuddy jay]$ gcc -g test.c -L/export/home/jay/setup/sfio/lib -lstdio -lsfio [jay@portabuddy jay]$ ./a.out died on 1022, 24, Too many open files [jay@portabuddy jay]$ So sfio seems to be the way to go with php4 at the moment. For anybody who's having problems getting sfio to work with php4, just configure with LIBS set to "-L/path/to/sfio/lib -lstdio -lsfio". Just make sure stdio is there before sfio and you should be set. No need for weird includes or anything.

Sure. The issue is that the stdio libraries (fopen, etc) dont support more than 256 open files. You can alos choose to use open et.al. A further complication is that errno is not correctly set when failing in this case on Solaris 7 and earlier. George
