Thanks Janes...
I am not a C developer - was not aware about select()... I was read it as some kind of sleep...
Than Clemens explained to me what select() does...
However - to me it is just implementation detail... Which is possible in one language, but not in another...
But technically, is the loop inside select() - or outside is irrelevant to me (i see the benefit... Though, not sure the benefit - is that big...nowdays.....)
From my point of view - what is important - is the main goal what should be achieved...
If with resources what I have (php - though I am not php developer either) I dont have the same power like in another language - who cares - main goal must be achived . things work - or dont, but we must make them work :)
I am just curious:
LISTEN foo
Select()
Another client says: NOTIFY bar
Will select() - get something from server?
Thanks,
Misa

that's polling.
I just do a select() on the socket and the select either times out or
lets me know something has come from the server. then I call whatever
it is to check for notifies.

except PHP doesn't have select() and hides the socket.
