It should work with file handles.
Try removing the stream_set_blocking() call: stream_select() will give you an indication if an operation would block - if it is set to non-blocking, it is possible that your OS is telling you it has nothing to do.

I've done it in blocking and even in non-blocking mode with the same result

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

Can you try using a PHP *5* snapshot (dated today)?
If it works in PHP 5, I can port the changes down to PHP 4; otherwise, I don't think it will be possible to select on files under win32.

I experience the same problem even With 4.3.5RC4-dev.

With newest php5 snap I got:

Warning: stream_select() [function.stream-select]: unable to select [0]: No error (max_fd=0)

Even if the files weren't selectable on Wins, it could be done anyway. good file editors notice, when the file, that is open in it, has been changet by another process...

It doesn't work -> it's not possible.

This should be documented under stream_select as a compatability issue.
 [2004-08-19 13:48 UTC] aidan@php.net 
This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
