Hi, I know this mailinglist is not exactly the right place to ask "user questions" (development WITH PHP etc..), but I am looking for some skilled people (UNIX gurus?) as I am stuck with a problem and I couldn't find the answer anywhere. And this is the place where the most skilled people are, thus here I am :)
I am writing a "server/daemon framework" which should eventually allow PHP developers to quickly create a server. You should look at the "quoted.php" to see how easy this actually is. The framework does all the dirty work in the background (forking off new children, managing connections ..) and this is exactly the point where I have a problem: how do I manage my child processes? My workaround is to pcntl_signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); , but I actually want to keep track of my childern (to limit the number of connections). Whenever I get a SIGCHLD from a child process, how the hell should I know what PID it came from? Should I just keep a list of processes and poll them from time to time? Any help would be appreciated. sourcecode can be downloaded/viewed online at: http://daniel.lorch.cc/projects/phpserv/ there is a working demo for the next couple of hours (until I switch off the machine): http://212.254.248.130/ Daniel Lorch -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
