Hi everybody,
Is it possible to open a named pipe from a php script on Windows?
More specifically, I have a Windows service that receives commands through a
named pipe, and I'd like to open the client end of the pipe directly from
php rather than creating an intermediate process.
Thanks,
A

Hi,
Yes you can.
Try FIFO or 'named pipe' search on www.php.net.
I think functions like popen and fopen could come in handy.
Read more at php.net, also some examples in there (most (l)inux-based).
Good luck,

Hi, http://nl3.php.net/popen contains a few examples for windows in the
usercontributed notes too.
Check them out.
Good luck!

I'll check them out. In the meantime I decided that in order to cover more
possible configurations and ensure cross platform portability, I would also
use tcp/ip to communicate with the service.
Thanks for your replies!

Hi,
I'm having a little trouble when I read from a named pipe. I create a
pipe by
os.mkfifo('/tmp/mypipe')
and then open it for reading with
fin = open('/tmp/mypipe','r+')

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a named pipe to communicate with another
application from a PHP application. The thing is that I cannot use any
of the posix functions on Windows, including posix_mkfifo.
Is there any other way to create a named pipe and if so.... how?
Thanks in advance.
Peter.
