The design just maybe might be fine in theory, but in practice...
A socket connection can't be shared across PHP instances, I don't think.
Certainly not by writing the resource into a text file.
You *MIGHT* be able to write the resource into shared memory
http://php.net/shmop but I doubt that will work at all, and even if it
does, having two programs reading/writing the same socket resource at one
time sounds like a recipie for disaster.
Why do you want to share this socket across two PHP programs?
What exactly are you doing?
I suspect that the design is not right, even in theory, but can't be sure.
