Re: [PHP4BETA] PHP ticks

Hiya This sounds great... but can you make it so that it will not triger after x php-script-staps but after a periot of time... i got some database query's that somethings take to long with a timer function i could kill the query after some (to much?) time and then the script will continue with an error of the query (status killed or something) (already asked this in a feature request but i think this is a much better description) Greetz, and futher tnx, Wico At 10:15 22-4-2000 -0500, Andrei Zmievski wrote:

} foo(); But what are the uses of PHP ticks? The ticks can be used to emulate background processing. They are not functional right now, but when they are you will be able to register functions that get called after each statement in the script is executed. That's if ticks=1. If it's ticks=5, for example, then your function will be called after every 5th statement. -Andrei It is commonly the case with technologies that you can get the best insight about how they work by watching them fail.
