Hi. If you want a separate script execution, you can use inetd o xinetd to listen for you that port. When inetd got a connection execute your php script, one execution by connection. I think that it is more usefull to create your own responser server with php using forks !. But using inetd has the advantage that you can use tcpwrappers.

Anyone find any good tutorials, code samples, etc. on such a thing? Basically, I want to write server (in PHP) that listeners on a particular port, and spins off a thread/process (essentially, execute a separate script) for each incoming connection. There won't be a lot of data to process, but there will be many simultaneous connections— upwards of 1000s of connections (each spun off as seperate threads). ...Rene
