Re: [PHP3] Parallel, Multi Tasking, Forking whatever you want to call From: Aaron Leon Kaplan (jjl <email protected>)

I was just wondering, is it possible to do smthng like:
1) php process creates shared memory
2) php process calls system ("child_prg &"); (shell background job)
   [or popen(...)]
3) child_prg forks
4) children of child_prg attach to shared mem and write their results
5) in the meantime the php process has waited for results on the shared
   memory

Of course you will need at least one semaphore in this typical
prdoucer-consumer problem...

just my 2 cents....
Aaron.
