pass socket resource to second script (socket connections)

[ratcateme]

i want to create a php script that will listen and accept connections on a port then pass the connection onto another script to keep the main script just handling incoming connections and not being tied up until the connection ends.
i have made a script that listens on port 9000 and waits until a connection is received then it will do stuff. the only problem with this is that it can only have on connection at a time and i need multiple connections at the same time.

Look at the following sample from the PHP manual socket_select function() entry about this. Link to manage multiple connections in PHP Hope that helps you along.

since i got that working i was trying to convert the normal socket to a SSL socket so connections to it will be encrypted does anyone have any ideas about how to go about doing this or is it just not possiable.
