posix_mkfifo() allows making named pipes. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-10 13:28:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] refiled against 4.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1999-06-19 14:22:43] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-passing between two php3 scripts can be useful under some circumstances (example: implementation of PAM conversation functions).
