You misunderstand, I'm not saying to create a unix socket and try to
pass that open pair to the child. I'm saying listen on a unix domain
socket on the file system and tell the children what the path is.
They can all individually then open streams to the parent using the
path.
Psuedo code:
// parent
$mysocket = 'unix://tmp/parent.sock';
$server = stream_socket_server($mysocket);
spawn_child('child_proc --sock='.escapeshellarg($mysocket));
$child = stream_socket_accept($server);
var_dump(fgets($child)); // string (8) "Hi mom!\n"
// child
$parentssocket = parseCliArg('sock');
$stream = stream_socket_client($parentssocket);
fwrite($stream, "Hi mom!\n");
Then the children can each report their own listening sockets to the
parent and the parent can provide a lookup for siblings to find each
other and allow them to open sockets to each other.
Trying to pass a meaningless number to the child that it can't do
anything with isn't going to work.
