C Socket Server unexpectedly shutting down
 
I'm running a socket server that I found on one of the C programming websites. I've been trying this with other socket server scripts as well. It runs fine for a while, it accepts multiple clients... but then for some reason unbeknown to me, it shuts down. Also the last couple times I saw the server in the process list running, and I killed it anyways because it was not responding.

Anyone have any possible remedies for me?

Thanks!

* Debug it with standard GNU utilities: gdb, strace, etc.
* Invoke the daemon with a log to some file you can go look at if it spits out to stdout/stderr.
* Post some code here, or a link to the code you're talking about?
--> read and understand the code and the error conditions.
* Core dump when it quits responding, (kill -6), then gdb the dump.

Can anyone tell me how to send data the socket server receives to a php script so I can insert the data in to a MySQL database?

Why not just do it from C : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/c.html ?
