Re: [PHP] php conditional loop question
I am running php as a client and I have the script running 24/7 to download the data from the connection. Is there a function to see if the connection drops. ?? is there a way to keep restart the function in the script. perhaps use a while and exit the function with a number exit(3) and use that value as the condition in the while?

From my previous post you can use http://php.net/stream_set_timeout btw, any reason why your using pfsocketopen vs. just fsocketopen? the pfsocketopen would be only needed if you plan on using that socket on a different page request. Come to think of it the pfsocketopen might even give you problems even if you use the stream_set_timeout function.

I just want to be able to reun the function if the data stops or in more general a certain condition is met. I'm not entirely sure how you are reading the data in from the socket but your condition is when there is no data that came back from the socket.

Re: [PHP] php conditional loop question
I think you need to set the connection to nonblocking mode. Use bool stream_set_blocking ( resource stream, int mode) Then if no data is available for a longer time (it's up to you), you can break out of the loop and do something else.

[PHP] php conditional loop question
ok. This is probably simple but I am not thinking straight. Here is what I want to do I have a function that makes a connection to a live datafeed website and downloads data via a pfsockopen() statement. After awhile the data stops feeding but the connection stays open. when the data stops I want to exit out of the function and have the function run again basically i don't know how to exit out of the function and have the program run the function again I have the program downloading the data and all that so I don't need help with that. I just want to be able to reun the function if the data stops or in more general a certain condition is met. any ideas and comments would be greatly appreciated.
