Well, from what I can understand a pipe is like a 'pipe' that moves data from one application to another one (to go in both directions do I have to use 2 different pipes?). What I'm looking for is something like a shared memory space, (like a double port RAM for electronic engineers!) where the two programs place their data in fixed locations and then they read it. Every single locations has the same meaning for both applications.
I don't know it this thing exists or if it is easy to implement, otherwise I'll take a better look at pipes. Can you please tell me where to find some code examples both in C and php on how to use pipes? Thanks, Paolo In data 23 ottobre 2007 alle ore 15:32:35, Roberto A.
