Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a solution to identify a php process that is spawned
with pnctl_fork. I've tried to set a custom gid but this isn't viable
because I have to run the parent proc with administrative permissions. I
need to do this native without any pecl extensions.
Is there a way to do this ?
Regards,

Hi,
pcntl_fork will return the pid of the fork, what is wrong with using that
pid to identify the process?

I don't want to wait for it and surely I don't want to safe that pid in
same place. I just want to use `ps` with a pattern to return my forked
process.

Storing the PID of a process you need to monitor is the established method, and
is certainly the most reliable. Why can't you use the PID as the pattern to
look for? If there's a reason then please explain it as that will help us
assist you. If there's no reason then I don't understand why you're trying to
over-complicate it.
If you're just wanting to monitor it from the process that forked it then you
don't need to store the PID anywhere other than a variable, and you don't need
to wait for it.
If you absolutely must do this then the only way is via an extension such as
proctitle: http://php.net/setproctitle

I'm trying to implement a standalone threading component, and in current
implementation I'm using `popen` to run a separate process with some
arguments that I'm using to identify them (for example `php
some_dummy_file.php -thread_id=<some_hash>`). This way when I'm trying to
see which are my threads I don't have to check every stored pid and see if
they are still up.

Personally I would be storing the PIDs somewhere, but that's just me.
The other way you could probably do it is by having the main script (the one
executed on the command line) named something unique, the use dirname(__FILE__)
to get that name from within that script. Then parse the PS output for that
script name. You may need to exclude lines containing bash or similar depending
on how the script was executed.
Seriously, PIDs are the way to go! Based on what you've put above you already
have some sort of storage that's tracking threads (they have a hash), so why
not add the PID to that? Or, even better, use the PID as that hash?

I'm not storing the hashes, just generate them when starting the thread. I
think that storing the thread pid in a local file (pids/threadx.pid) is the
only way but I don't think is the best.
Thanks anyway Stuard!

In Firebird, CTE queries are great for this type of problem. Just having a
single result set and formatting the results based on a 'level' field makes
things very flexible and you just stream the one set of results.

I'm looking for some ideas on how to handle the following get a datetime
value that is relative to a specific future date when presented with a
partial day &time value.
Specifically, I have an appl that requires some lengthy input involving
days and times. I have streamlined the d/e effort so that it can be
done entirely using the number keypad (if available), or else just with
numeric entries. Works great, very quick (JS) and accurate. Basically
the users type some numbers and end up with something like:
Sat 08:00am or Fri 07:00pm etc.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can convert this value to a true
datetime value for my database updates, where the above value is
relative to a specific date in the future? IE, the d/e takes place a
few days before a certain upcoming date and I want my entry of "Sat" to
translate to the Saturday following that certain date. This could take
place one to two weeks prior to the start date, so just adding "next" to
the value above won't work. I really need to incorporate a specific
date in the solution.
Thoughts anyone?
For those interested - the proposed answer is indeed the answer.
To convert a relative time string such as "Sat 01:00pm" to an absolute
date relative to a given date this does the trick:
$dt = strtotime("sat 01:00pm",strtotime("2012-11-16")
which would return "11/17/12 01:00 pm"

Can someone recommend a best practice for blocking spam on web forms (aside
from captcha) ?
I've been for the most part utilizing a honeypot method and then
individually blocking IPs and am looking for a more efficient method that
won't require daily maintenance.
I've come across this module: http://spam-ip.com/phpnuke-spam-module.php
Has anyone used this method or have any other better suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, my research shows a lot of users have issues with captcha's,
specifically recaptcha can be very difficult to read in most instances, and
am looking for an alternative method. I do like the slider method on
theymakeapps.com, I may take a look at that, thanks.

Hi Andy,
To be honest, that's also not what i'm looking for, but might be a
good starting point to extend on. Depends on how you made it :) I cant
promise that i'ill be working on it. I might be for some future
project in my company but it might very well not happen as well.
