The socket_accept() function doesn't appear to handle kernel level
system interrupts. This is a problem because PHP scripts written to use
pcntl_signal() won't be executed while socket_accept() is in blocking
mode. THAT is a problem because the script can't be killed with:

kill -s SIGUSR1 [pid]

and can't reap zombie processes when SIGCHLD is given (not that is much
of a problem on Linux, since you can use SIG_IGN).

A workaround I've made is to set a socket to non-blocking mode:

socket_set_nonblock($hSocket);

And then use a while loop like so:

while (($hClient = @socket_accept($hSocket)) === false) {
       
       // If this is a real error, we need to handle it. Unfortunately,
in this
       // event we just die() essentially.
       
       if (!is_resource($hSocket)) {

           error_log(socket_strerror(socket_last_error($hSocket)));
           exit;

       }
       
       // We need to sleep for one second so that CPU isn't absorbed
with this
       // process. This may seem clunky, but select() doesn't appear to
work
       // correctly with accept() in PHP in blocking mode (that is
EINTR does
       // not appear to work correctly), thus preventing signals from
being
       // received. This, in effect, makes the process unkillable. This
is the
       // workaround, for the moment.
       
       sleep(1);
       
}

While this works, it would be much better if it just returned when a
system interrupt is given like the C-equivalent does. This works
because the system can't receive messages from the kernel because it
isn't blocking.
