Hi everyone,
I'm trying to rewrite an old MUD in PHP; the reasons for this are that the
original is written in C and most files in the codebase run over 2000
lines with at least 20 of them, which makes it very hard to change
anything.
Plus, the web interface is also written in C, and needless to say that's
just nasty!
So I was looking at sockets in PHP, and thinking about the semantics of it
all.
I was looking at this article:
http://devzone.zend.com/article/1086-Writing-Socket-Servers-in-PHP
And thought 'wow this looks like it might be pretty easy actually!'
But then I reached the first hurdle point:
'
/* Accept incoming requests and handle them as child processes */
$client = socket_accept($sock);
'
Surely the point of a MUD is that the requests are shared?
I also looked up telnet servers in PHP on google quite extensively, and
there seems to be no real information out there? I would imagine that I'm
looking for the wrong thing, however.
In short I'm looking for the basic idea on how a MUD server would be
implemented in PHP.
Thanks in advance for anything,
Luke Slater
