1. Calling the parent’s constructor without knowing its name:

$this->{get_parent_class(__CLASS__)}($arg1, $arg2, ...);

2. Creating an object of different type in a constructor.
Note that you can NOT return an object from a constructor. A constructor can never return a value. However, you can set the value of $this to acheive this.

class A
{
  function A()
  {
    $this = new B();
  }
}

AJAX-enabled Smarty plugins uses Prototype JavaScript library to implement three basic (but useful) AJAX calls:
- ajax_update (used for update some parts of web-page)
- ajax_call (used for call PHP function on server side and retrieve its output)
- ajax_form (used for submit Web-forms without post-back)

Author also writes some articles on that: AJAX-enabled Smarty plugins.

It is not hard to use var_export(var) and file_put_contents/file_get_contents() function to store PHP variable in a file and get it back.
What is interesting is how to make a PHP variable from string produced by var_export($var, true):
$var2 = eval(‘return ‘. $str2 . ‘;’);
Adding ‘return’ and semicolon are the key points! (see PHP: return – Manual).

See the full example bellow.

Process Forking with PHP

Thorough look at PHP’s pcntl_fork() – very good article with interesting comments.

PHP Serial class can be used to communicate with a serial port under Linux.
It takes the path of serial device and checks whether it is valid before opening a connection to it.
Once the connection is opened, it can send data to the serial port.
The class may also change connection parameters for the given serial device.

TailFile class emulates UNIX "tail -f" command for cgi php.

PHP: Process Control Functions support in PHP implements the Unix style of process creation, program execution, signal handling and process termination. Process Control should not be enabled within a web server environment and unexpected results may happen if any Process Control functions are used within a web server environment.
UNIX only

Class: Thread (seems o be the same as Pear::PHP_Fork package) is a wrapper around the pcntl_fork() stuff, with a API set like Java language.
Practical usage is done by extending this class, and re-defining the run() method.
This way PHP developers can enclose logic into a class that extends PHP_Fork, then execute the start() method that forks a child process.
Communications with the forked process is ensured by using a Shared Memory Segment; by using a user-defined signal and this shared memory developers can access to child process methods that returns a serializable variable.

SourceForge.net: PHPlet
PHPlet, is an Application Server written in PHP that serves PHP servet (<i>PHPlet</i>). PHPlet are similar to Java Servlet as they implements the init(), service(), destroy() methods. The lifecycle of PHPlet is the same of servlet.

Class: Daemon provides a base class that can create and manage daemon processes on Linux or other Unix-like systems.

This base class can fork the current process and store the child process identifier in a pid file. The forked process enters an infinite loop executing its job until it receives a termination signal.

The base class is not useful by itself. It needs to be derived to implement daemon job as a function of the sub-class. A daemon job subclass is provided as an example.

Article Fork PHP! brings another easy but cute solution. The fundamental thing is that you run a system command (php interpreter in fact) in background – example:

exec("/usr/local/bin/php /path/to/forked_script.php Value1 $ip > /dev/null &1");
