A TCP/IP Stack and Webserver in PHP

Sweet Zombie Turing! Adam Dunkels has written phpstack – A TCP/IP Stack and Webserver in PHP. Some people really do have too much free time on their hands.

Adam is also the author of the more useful lwip and uip, which are compact implementations of TCP/IP that you might actually want to use.

Writing software in odd languages isn’t exactly a new idea. Nanoweb is an http server in PHP. HTTPi is a webserver written in perl. PS-HTTPD is a webserver writen in PostScript.
