RE: [PHP4BETA] JSP vs. PHP - Two vs. Three Teir

RE: [PHP4BETA] JSP vs. PHP - Two vs. Three TeirIt's not clear to me what you are trying to do. However, you may find it useful to use the register_shutdown_function(). You can use this function to effectively create a php service. After an initial connection the register_shutdown_function is used to start a php service. You'll probably also want to do set the script timeout to 0, and perhaps use a shared memory segment to control the number of services running (i.e. if the shared memory segment is set, then don't run the service). -----Original Message----- From: Michael Nino [mailto:mnino@Insight.com] Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 1:50 PM To: 'rubys@us.ibm.com' Cc: php4beta@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP4BETA] JSP vs. PHP - Two vs. Three Teir > In regards, to PHP functioning as a daemon or service to other PHP scripts, > can you think of any way this might be implemented? Thanks for your comments. I neglected to mention the advantage we seek when I say we would like PHP to run as a daemon or service. We would like to take advantage for the "persistence" of the daemons/services ability to keep data in memory (and possible communicate with other HTTP processes such as a "watchdog" monitoring application status, connections to back, etc, etc... Kinda like writing a a Apache module in Perl using sockets and shared memory. Any ideas? thanks!michael
