Help with socket_select
Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 2:15 pm
Can someone explain exactly what socket_select does and what purpose it serves?
I've read the info on it at php.net and looked at the examples/tutorials. Bascially I understand that it accepts an array of sockets, and it knows when something about them changes. But what I don't understand is what exactly it does when it detects a change.
Thanks very much,
