RE: [PHP] Infinate looping

:: :: Personally, I think you're taking the wrong approach to solve your :: problem. PHP scripts were meant to execute in short fashion, to get :: over and done with. If you need something that checks for changes, :: don't make the PHP script run from now until doomsday, set it up as a :: scheduled task that runs every minute (or whatever interval you :: require). It's a much cleaner setup, and you're removing the :: webserver from the equation since you'll be running PHP from the :: command line. :: Yes, I agree, if I were making a task to run every few minutes it would be easier, but that's not exactly what I'm doing. I'm more or less streaming content from the database to the end-user. It's basically a chat script that I'm running. I thought about setting up a socket, but I'm not sure if that's even aloud on the mainstream web hosts, or is it? Thanks, Stephen Craton
