Sam Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Belgium Insane since: Oct 2002	posted 12-17-2003 10:28 Hi all, I'm wondering if it's possible to create a PHP application which acts as a P2P client? Is it possible to create a PHP API on a server which acts as a regular P2P client such as Kazaa or WinMx? I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" but why? I don't know anything about the protocol P2P applications use but perhaps you do. Is it a security issue or just technically impossible to exchange files on a webserver with a regular P2P client? Sam

Hi all,
