Hello,

Since PHP 5.3, stream_socket_pair() ist implemented for Windows. 
However, I wonder, what is the use of this function without 
pcntl_fork(), which is not available for Windows? The only way on 
Windows to start a new process is through system(), but then I won't 
have the same socket pair in each process, which renders it useless for 
IPC which, as I understand it, it is intended for. So, what can I do 
with stream_socket_pair() if I can not fork?

Regards,
     Jan Uhlig
