Subject: PHP broken pipe in fork
From: user@domain.invalid

Hi,

i'm using firebird 1.5.1 on a linux machine with a php script

I'm using a query in loop and go through all records to do some operations
in the middle of the script i fork(); to do other things
When i return to the parent process i try to make one update and i get 
the following error
[nativecode=Unable to complete network request to host "127.0.0.1". 
Error writing data to the connection. Broken pipe]

And continue the loop of the records of the query.


It apears that the fork and the wait from pcntl  closes the sockets to 
the database.

Is this a regular beaviour ?  How can it be solved ?

I'm using Pear DB for database access.

Thank you in advance
Rui Francisco
