Code crashes with error maximum execution time 300 secs

I'm starting to reconsider my original position. It seems that with PHP sockets, you can do what you want, but the script has to run indefinitely.

Personally, I'm not keen on the idea of keeping loops running indefinitely, because you could end up with considerable overhead without even realising it. Also, if you're on a shared Web host, they most likely prohibit running daemons and any other kind of service that runs indefinitely, so you might want to look into that.

However, this article might help you: http://devzone.zend.com/209/writing-sock...rs-in-php/

Please let me know how you get on.
