http://php.net/fsockopen and friends discuss the non-blocking aspect.
http://php.net/fork covers fork.

You can't use fork (or any pcntl) in a web-server environment, only CLI

[PHP] running php method in the background

2006-06-08 Thread Nic Appleby 

Hi there

I have a php web script which communicates with a server using sockets.
There is a method in which the client listens for messages from the
server, and this blocks the client. 
I need a way to 'fork' a process or to get this method to run in the
background so that i can process user input while not interrupting the
protocol.

I have searched all over the web with no luck, can anyone point me in
the right direction?

thanks
nic
