note 87492 added to function.curl-multi-exec

For anyone trying to dynamically add links to mcurl and removing them as they complete (for example to keep a constant of 5 links downloading), I found that the following code works: <?php $mcurl = curl_multi_init(); for(;;) { curl_multi_select($mcurl); while(($mcRes = curl_multi_exec($mcurl, $mcActive)) == CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM); if($mcRes != CURLM_OK) break; while($done = curl_multi_info_read($mcurl)) { // code that parses, adds or removes links to mcurl } // here you should check if all the links are finished and break, or add new links to the loop } curl_multi_close($mcurl); ?> You should note the return value of curl_multi_select() is ignored. I found that if you do the curl_multi_exec() loop only if the return value of curl_multi_select() is != -1 then new links added to mcurl are ignored. This may be a bug. Hope this saves someone some time. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 78.96.116.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-exec.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87492 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87492/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87492/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87492/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87492/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87492/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87492/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87492 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87492 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
