win32_set_service_status

On my Machine (Win XP SP2) the function "win32_get_last_control_message" never returns 4 so i will have to reply to 0 also.finally after mixing several examples i now have a version working woithout filling my event log with errors:<?php/* * PHP SAMPLE TEMPLATE *//* * APP MAIN FUNCTION * Called each second after the function last time finished * Should not take longer than max 20 seconds to execute * ELSE you should call NTServiceResponder(); at least each 20 secs * WARNING: NTServiceResponder will exit; if there was a STOP request */function Service_Main(){    // YOU APPLICATION CODE HERE !!!    sleep(1); // dummy something}/******************************************************************** * * SERVICE CONTROLLING * ********************************************************************/$SERVICE_NAME = "phptestservice";$SERVICE_DISPLAY = "Test Service with PHP";// so u can get: $SERVICE_PATH_PARTS["dirname"] $SERVICE_PATH_PARTS["basename"]  $SERVICE_PATH_PARTS["extension"]$SERVICE_PATH_PARTS = pathinfo(__FILE__);$SERVICE_PARAMS = " run";    if (!isset($argv[1]))    {        die("this application need to be installed as a service.\n run with param install");    }    if ($argv[1] == 'install')    {        $x = win32_create_service(array(                                        'service' => $SERVICE_NAME,                                        'display' => $SERVICE_DISPLAY,                                        'params' =>  __FILE__ . $SERVICE_PARAMS,                                        //'path' =>  $SERVICE_PATH_PARTS["dirname"] .

So after much searching I finally found all the peices to make a working windows service & server including:- Installing & Uninstalling the service- Starting & Stopping the Service- Actually running a basic Server- Responding to windows Service to Stop/Start/Restart I hope you find this useful! I did this using PHP 5.2 and the PECL library for 5.2 (PHP 5.3 at the time does not have a PECL Library compiled for it)<?php    //Service Settings    $Service = 'MyServiceFinal';    $Display = 'My PHP Service';        //Server Settings    $host = '127.0.0.1';        //Bind to IP #    $port = 23;                            //On port #    $max = 20;                            //Maximum Clients            //Exit if no start-up argument is passed    if (!isset($argv[1])){ShowHelp(); exit;}        //Create Windows Service    if ($argv[1] == 'install') {                             $x = win32_create_service(array(        'service' => $Service,        'display' => $Service,        'params' => __file__ .
