I need to write a long running server in php on windows. I am currently using
'select' on sockets. The problem is that the work of the server involves
activities that may block. But I don't want the server the block in such
circumstances. So the proper way seems to be to use createProcess on each
request. So I would like to know if createProcess will inherit the open sockets.
Thanks.

I have built my own version of PHP on Windows (CLI) that enables sockets
and soap. I did all of my testing using a version I compiled with
--enable-debug, and it seems to be working just fine. When I switch to
the non-debug build, however, I'm having trouble with a lot of my scripts.
Here's a quick sample of what is failing:
putenv("PHP_BOB=Bob Jones");
With --enable-debug, this sets this environment variable for the duration
of my script. Without --enable-debug, it returns true but appears to have
no effect.
exec( "dir", $out ); var_dump( $out );
With --enable-debug, this prints out the output array $out which
containst the results of the "dir" command. Without --enable-debug, I'm
getting an empty array.
I have tried searching the online documentation and have set
safe_mode_allowed_env_vars and safe_mode_protected_env_vars, but I can't
seem to make these simple statements work with my non-debug version of
PHP. Can anyone help me out?
