Ok, I tried it before, it didn't work:

For example,
<?php
$filename = "fifo" ;
$dataFile = fopen( $filename, "a" ) ;

if ( $dataFile )
{
fwrite($dataFile,"TEST IN FIFO FILE\n");
fclose($dataFile);
}
else
{
die( "fopen failed for $filename" ) ;
}
?>

fifo file created as root:
mkfifo fifo
chmod 777 fifo

Try to execute it and execution never ends... browser is waiting for
ever ...
No errors in error php error log.

Any ideas?
