hi can php listen to a socket connection for 24hrs supposing the port has already been fixed? then is it possible that when it receives data it executes processes it and when its done continues listening?
need urgent help on this. thanks to all!!

Add set_time_limit(0); and ignore_user_abort(1); to the code. Then try calling socket_set_timeout() if you have to, and see if it keeps listening on the socket.

Also, try using the PHP executable to run a standalone script rather than off a web server.

cool. just wonderin' when you invoke the script thru the port whether by linux inetd or constant listen, each time a user calls upon it it'll be like a new "process" right?
probably this would make it clearer:
person A and B access the script at the same time using the same method. each person will be on a different "proccess" of the script right, meaning that what the script does for person A would not be related/affected to person B, right?thanx.
