It should be entirely possible to manage multiple connections to a socket
using the alternative to forking, select(). I don't know enough about
select() and its corresponding functions, but they are there and they
should allow the ability to step through and deal with each connection
without ever forking a new process.
Those functions are part of the Socket extension to PHP, but they are
undocumented. I would be very happy to see an example of their usage in PHP
(as the C examples are leaving me quite baffled).
