They are not interested. If you want to have comet apps and stream bits of data fast for email (gmail) or stockprices in the middle of your text (marketwatch) then you have to go use other tools. If you *must* use PHP, you will have to write your own long lasting web server in PHP -- but note that PHP was not designed for that. Neither was apache. There is a reason why all the comet stuff is written in other languages and use other web servers. Best bet -- use another tool stack. Typically you have have it call into other code as needed (like PHP) for things like authentication or data collection, and since the usage pattern is different, you probably want it on a separate cluster anyway. http://cometdaily.com/ is a better channel to gather some info. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
