ID: 10752 Updated by: sniper Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: *Programming Data Structures Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: The example code works just fine for me with 5 browser windows. This is on Linux / Apache. Unless you can come up with a script that doesn't work, this case is closed. --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-10 13:17:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have tried a meta tag, but the screen flashes when the page is refreshed. In addition to my previous postings, when I open two browser windows by clicking on their icons and write the address in the address box, the script works, when I press the ctrl-n keys and open a new browser window the script freezes. Thank you, Argun --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-10 11:25:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This sounds like an unreliable way to accomplish your goal, as you are finding out. Don't you think it would be better to simply have a META tag refresh the chat session (could be a frame or what not) every X seconds? Could have the user list in a seperate frame and the message entry area in another. -Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-10 07:45:16] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is going to be used for a chat board, there will be an infinite loop which reads from a mySQL db and flushes the output. I tought there was something wrong with my db access code however I realised that, the code was not working altough I have simplified it as I have posted. I have tried with different os and web server software. I have tried Linux & Apache and Win2k & IIS5. When I open the page, it works fine. When I open the same page in another window at the same computer it still works fine however if I try to open a third browser window (private chat with 3 person for instance) the browser window freezes and if I close one of the previous browser windows the third window starts working. Thank you, Argun --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-09 10:42:15] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.) Why are you doing an infinite loop in the first place? 2.) This is working just fine for me on my linux machine with 4.0.5. -Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-09 10:01:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1254"> <title>Loop</title> </head> <body> <? for($value=1; $value>0; $value++){ echo"<br>$value"; flush(); sleep(1); } ?> </body> </html> The code above does not work when opened in more than two browsers on the same computer. Any ideas? Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
