Re: php conditional loop question

>>>> I am running php as a client and I have the script running 24/7 to download the data from the connection. Is there a function to see if the connection drops. ?? is there a way to keep restart the function in the script. perhaps use a while and exit the function with a number exit(3) and use that value as the condition in the while?

Come to think of it the pfsocketopen might even give you problems even if you use the stream_set_timeout function.
