Personally, I think you're taking the wrong approach to solve your problem. PHP scripts were meant to execute in short fashion, to get over and done with. If you need something that checks for changes, don't make the PHP script run from now until doomsday, set it up as a scheduled task that runs every minute (or whatever interval you require). It's a much cleaner setup, and you're removing the webserver from the equation since you'll be running PHP from the command line. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
