Something like `phasync::stream_select(array \u0026$readable=[], array \u0026$writable=[], array \u0026$except=[])`. A way to select on multiple stream resources simultaneously, for example when creating a server that listens to multiple IP addresses at the same time.\n\nThe phasync::select() API can select on multiple streams - but only returns one stream resource at a time, so with 50 socket servers - there could be new connections on many socket servers.\n\n### Basic Example\n\n```php\nphasync::run(function() {\n    $socketServers = []; // array of socket server\n    while (true) {\n        $reads = $socketServers; // copy the array, rely on COW\n        $ready = phasync::stream_select(read: $reads);\n        foreach ($reads as $readSocket) {\n            phasync::go(function() use ($readSocket) { /* handle connection */ });\n        }\n    }\n});\n```\n\n### Drawbacks\n\nEven bigger API surface. Might be challenging to implement properly in the event loop driver.\n\n### Unresolved questions\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/frodeborli","@type":"Person","name":"frodeborli"},"datePublished":"2026-01-07T19:01:56.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/44/phasync/issues/44"}
