Re: createing a php script with reloadable modules.

My feeling ... Your script wont be running for 24hours, so you can just edit the PHP file directly, can't you? Make a copy of your main PHP file, make the changes you need, and copy/overwrite the existing one. I assume the PHP engine doesn't read the file a line at a time but instead caches the whole script, so you wont have any problems of the php script failing because it was changes 'half way through' Siggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "kill-9" <kill-9@kill-9.dk> To: "Php-Windows@Lists.Php.Net" <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 9:26 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] createing a php script with reloadable modules. Ok guys I need your help I'm banging my head against the wall on this one. I need to do something like modules in a script. The main script runs 24/7 I want to be able to change the modules run time. have some kind of flag set to have it update/reload the module. I cant do something like an include with the modules because they wont be refreshed that and you cant re-included a function that has already been include once and include_once wont work either because that wont refresh the module. here are my thoughts. if I use system or pass thru to set off the modules. but the question is I need to pass the module a file pointer. and so far I have been unable to pass a file pointer to another script. another option would be to use fopen to buffer the module and using exec to execute this new module. I could reload the module by re reading the file. would this work? all comments ,opinions , ideas , and wild guesses are welcome. I'm stuck and need some new ideas on how to do this. thanks kill-9 www.kill-9.dk
