Example #1 A stream_socket_pair() example

This example shows the basic usage of stream_socket_pair() in Inter-Process Communication.

<?php

$sockets 
stream_socket_pair(STREAM_PF_UNIXSTREAM_SOCK_STREAMSTREAM_IPPROTO_IP);
$pid     pcntl_fork();

if (
$pid == -1) {
     die(
'could not fork');

} else if (
$pid) {
     
/* parent */
    
fclose($sockets[0]);

    
fwrite($sockets[1], "child PID: $pid\n");
    echo 
fgets($sockets[1]);

    
fclose($sockets[1]);

} else {
    
/* child */
    
fclose($sockets[1]);

    
fwrite($sockets[0], "message from child\n");
    echo 
fgets($sockets[0]);

    
fclose($sockets[0]);
}

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

child PID: 1378
message from child
