Hello.
I'm trying to run a php script from xinetd (Fedora Linux). I need to close
stdin, stdout & stderr since I want to close
the socket established with the caller process (I have a long processing to
do locally, I need to release a remote
resource & closing the connection is the only way I can do it).
I've tried :
fclose(STDIN); fclose(STDOUT); fclose(STDERR);
It does not work, the socket is still up & running.
When I run strace(1), I see that I'm closing fds 4, 5 & 6 (fd 3 is the fd of
the script being read) and not
fd 0, 1 & 2.
It seems that CLI PHP calls dup(2) to get duplicates of fd 0, 1 & 2 and so
these 3 fds are totally
unreachable from the script itself. I'm not used to php source code, but I
think that the problem
comes from getting constants STDIN, STDOUT & STDERR thru filter code
generation used
by "php://stdin" etc. and no provision is done for the first calls: a dup(2)
is automatically used.
So constants STDIN, STDOUT & STDERR are not pointing to the correct fd's,
but dup's.
Can this be fixed or should I consider using another solution? (coding my
script in C ;-( )
Regards,
Bernard
