Forking process on every incoming event is terrible idea IMO. Threads are more lightweight than processes. Can you use threads in PHP? I am not familiar with PHP (Java developer myself). I can explain how I would implement it in Java.
There is one SocketReader thread and several Worker threads in a thread pool. "SocketReader" thread - reads data (events) from socket. When event arrives SocketReader checks thread pool, get one Worker (if any) and makes it to process event. If there no available Workers in a pool then event goes directly to a EventQueue. When Worker finishes it checks EventQueue and if there are no events in a queue Worker goes back to thread pool, otherwise it process event from queue. -Vladimir Rodionov On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 5:23 PM, Nicolas Brenner <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, I built an event socket daemon that waits for certain events, when it > receives those events, it does some processing and keeps waiting for more > events.
