Doc #63936 [NEW]: Possible curl_multi_exec() example issue

From: aharvey Operating system: Irrelephpant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Possible curl_multi_exec() example issue Description: ------------ From user note 110923: I think there's a bug in the sample code. If curl_multi_select() returns -1, the do..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. I'd post a fixed version, but I'm not sure what a return value of -1 actually implies: Does it mean the entire multi-stack has failed somehow, or can we continue calling curl_mulit_exec()? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63936&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63936&r=mysqlcfg
