note 72284 added to function.usleep

Dude you are SO the man for that code snippet. It worked like a charm. I just wanted to point out a couple things and offer my own improvement. 1. If you're like me, you were probably wondering why the socket had to keep being recreated on each call, and why you couldn't just create a static socket. Its because socket_select assumes you're passing in a pointer, and will alter the variable on return to reflect the actual sockets that were changed. 2. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why socket_select wasn't defined. Its because you hadn't enabled the right extension in php.ini Ok so heres my slight improvement. The only real thing I did is use a static variable for the socket, to avoid creating a brand new socket on each call of this function. I'm not sure if socket creation will cause things to crash down the line like the other problems reported on here, but if you ask me better safe then sorry. function Sleeper($mSec) { // For dummies like me who spent 5 minutes // wondering why socket_create wasn't defined if(!function_exists('socket_create')){ die("Please enable extension php_sockets.dll"); } // So the socket is only created once static $socket=false; if($socket===false){ $socket=array(socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_RAW,0)); } $pSock=$socket; // Calc time $uSex = $mSec * 1000; // Do the waiting socket_select($read=NULL,$write=NULL,$pSock,0,$uSex); // OCD return true; } ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 72.134.68.196 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.usleep.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72284 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72284/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72284/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72284/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72284/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72284/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72284/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72284 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72284 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
