(from what I understand) Yes, sort of. But I don't want to write daemon in other language or cgi version of php. If I had persistent connection functionality in PHP, I could easily avoid using other daemons, and it would open a whole new world of possibilities for php. Ideally I would like to: <? // page1.php $fp=pfsockopen($host,$port); shm_put_var($shid, $vkey, $fp) ?> <? //page2.php $fp=shm_get_var($shid, $vkey); fputs($fp, $request) fclose($fp); ?> If it isn't too hard to implement, I think it would be very useful.
