Hi All, I'm currently implementing a standalone app using php cli. Part of the app connects to Postgres and waits for a notification using the "Listen <tablename>" SQL. In the postgres C lib there is a function called "Pqsocket" which returns the file-descriptor of the socket connection to Postgres. With this I can use a simple select server to sleep on this interface and others in the application. Does anybody now of a patch to make this available under PHP or does the structure of PHP code effectively make this type approach impossible? Alternatively if I've just missed the function would somebody point me in the right direction - I was kind of hoping (until I read the man pages more closely) that pg_port was the function that wrapped the Pqsocket command but sadly not! If I need to wite one then I'll do that and post it back if that's useful but just in case somebody has done it before...
