Note Submitter: reinoud at hyves dot nl ---- Note that (among other things ?) your mysql resources need to be closed neatly before doing a pcntl_fork. If not, you might have mysql_query return false with errno=0 and no error message - even if the child doesn't touch the database at all. So I ended up using the following code: $database_resource=mysql_connect($server,$port, $dbuser, $dbpass); someCodeWhichDoesSomeQueries($database_resource); mysql_close($database_resource); if (pcntl_fork() === 0) { $database_resource=mysql_connect($server,$port, $dbuser, $dbpass); //obviously you only add this if the child is going to interact with the database executeChildCode($database_resource); exit(); } $database_resource=mysql_connect($server,$port, $dbuser, $dbpass); executeParentCode($database_resource);
