Doc #63842 [Com]: Infinite loop in example code

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63842&edit=1 ID: 63842 Comment by: mail+php at requinix dot net Reported by: dean at ovts dot com dot au Summary: Infinite loop in example code Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: curl_multi_init()'s example has the same problem. Given the history of the underlying bug (see bug #63411, bug #61141) I'm hesitant to just go in and submit a change. In the comments for 61141 are two code bits that should work, the preferred one (from pierrick) being while ($active && $mrc == CURLM_OK) { if (curl_multi_select($mh) == -1) usleep(100); do { $mrc = curl_multi_exec($mh, $active); } while ($mrc == CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM); } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-24 06:48:36] dean at ovts dot com dot au Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.curl-multi-exec --- I think there's a bug in the sample code. If curl_multi_select() returns -1, then the while{} loop just keeps calling it until it returns something else. So if repeated calles to curl_multi_select() can return -1 indefinitely (and the comments on the manual page for that function suggest it can), then the example code will just go into an infinite loop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63842&edit=1
