A normal PHP script cannot receive multiple requests. But if you really plan on creating a socket server (started as cmdline php script), then yes it’s possible.
Look into http://pear.php.net/package/Net_Server – it provides already some preparations for that. Specifically it uses the
pcntlfunctions to fork into multiple processes to work on separate TCP requests.Another option would be http://nanoserv.si.kz/ which has a few more features.
