phpstack - A TCP/IP Stack and Web Server in PHP

Posted by michael on from the recursive dept.

Adam Dunkels writes "Following the trend of writing 'inappropriate' programs in the PHP scripting language, I have written a small TCP/IP stack and a web server entirely in PHP. It is extremely stripped down: the IP stack only implements the most basic functionality required for running the web server and the web server cannot handle pages larger than 1.5k. Nevertheless, the stack is able to support an unlimited number of simultaneous TCP connections and the web server has support for PHP scripting. A live demonstration server is up and running the phpstack software."

  1. PSHTTPD - PostScript webserver by Richard_L_James · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This php webserver reminds me of HTTPi a webserver written in 100% perl. Neither of which are that hard when you know. However Anders "Pugo" Karlsson wrote a webserver called PS HTTPD in postscript. Now that I found very impressive :)

    Interesting concept..

    So, basically, you can ONLY critisize something if you managed to rip the idea and make your own..

    Ever written an OS?

    Wait. Have you ever written an automated bot to post slashdot comments? If no, then you must STFU, as you have not done it yourself..

    Shesh..
