OS: Linux(RedHat)
Programming Language: C++

I need to create a daemon(process) for Linux using C++ that will continuously listen on a custom port for PHP requests. The PHP will send the request data in XML form to the daemon, the daemon will parse the XML using Xerces and send back an appropriate reply in XML form to the PHP page.

I have successfully created a daemon process listening on port 4646 on localhost, but what I can’t figure out is how the request from PHP will go to the daemon and how will the daemon send the reply back.

I tried google-ing for this particular problem but couldn’t find a solution at all.
Any kind of help on this problem will be very much appreciated.

I have also read a little about PHP daemons, but I’m not sure whether they are applicable in this particular scenario.

This approach is not hard and fast so any alternative approach will also do. The only thing hard and fast is the results i.e succesful communication between the PHP pages and the daemon.

    Its better that u can use the php socket library to connect with the daemon running in your system and then u can pass data to the daemon and can process the result sent back by the daemon .

    You can refer the PHP Socket Library for creating code to do socket connection with daemon …

    I think this is a better option than using CURL as the daemon is also a custom socket interface , CURL will be most suitable for HTTP request’s , but i think here the daemon is not an HTTP one..
