Re: [PHP4BETA] select() Design Notes

That will just confuse people who are used to > select(2). What about the possibility of keeping select(), fd_set() and fd_isset() without using globals? One would call fd_set() with the fd and a second parameter specifying what fd_set it should belong to (read, write, except). fd_set() then calls ZEND_REGISTER_RESOURCE() to register the fd_set and to register the highest numbered fd. Then select() is called with just a timeout value and fetches the fd_set(s) and highest numbered fd. fd_isset() would also fetch the fd_set(s) and see if the supplied fd is set. I know this is different than C's select() but it seems that it's either this way or exactly like C's select() except it only accepts a single fd resource for each of read, write and except. How does this sound? -- ev ---------------------------- Evan Klinger evan@php.net AIM evan715
