Using posix_kill and PHP doesn"t understand SIGUSR1!!??

Hi, I've only been using PHP for a short time so there may be a simple
solution which I haven't been able to spot yet.

here's the line in question:

posix_kill($PidSendTo, SIGUSR1);

produces the following error:

posix_kill() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in Test.php
on line XX.

It seems that PHP is unable to understand any of the PCNTL signals
constants.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Not sure, but could pcntl_signal() help you out?
