What you probably don't realize, is that in 99.9% of the situations you've come across, PHP is already a process running all the time. It's called mod_php, and it's a PHP interpreter running inside of apache, thus a "long running process." It's just not as obvious. You can do the same thing with Python via the mod_python module, thus putting the python interpreter (instead of the PHP interpreter) inside the Apache process. Other web servers have similar setups. Google for FastCGI and SCGI. j -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
