Hi Rodrigo I recently did a little app that maintained persistent connections to a XMPP server - a similar solution should apply to your problem. I built a memory-resident app in the middle that received a unique ID from my PHP page (you could use session_id for instance), assigned that ID to a connection and created a permanent connection. It also queued incoming messages so that when the PHP script connected again, it could send through the queued messages, so that the end-user didn't miss anything. Initially I tried using PHP-cli for the memory-resident app but eventually settled on Twistd Python because it was better at running resident and handling multiple connections from different users without blocking anything. On the front-end I used PHP and Ajax to give a feeling of a "live" connection. J -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
