I was trying to work on the code in this thread. I noticed that [man]pcntl_fork[/man] did not exist on my Mac, either in the native php4 which comes with OSX or in MAMP.
So I started reading the introduction for the Process Control stuff which sayeth:
Process Control should not be enabled within a web server environment and unexpected results may happen if any Process Control functions are used within a web server environment.
So naturally I am wondering if it's possible to have one PHP installation that works with apache and another entirely separate one for CLI. If so, how might one go about setting this up?
