What makes you say that? I've been running several PHP processes for weeks at a time with no problems, feeding on busy TCP connections for the whole time.


I didn't say that you can't do it.


But why do you find it unsuitable?


It is build around a model of process input, spit output, exit; which is not what you want for long living processes. There are many articles about it's flaws, my favourite is this one: http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-de...


It has ugly syntax and bad standard function names, and some people code ugly things with it.
