RE: [PHP] Program Looping ?

[Demitrious S. Kelly]

Well you'd have to work with inputs, etc... for the key... but the look
isn't hard

$loop=1;
$sleep=300;
while ( $loop == 1 ) {
        code();
        sleep($sleep);
        if ( %%keypresscode%% ) {
                $loop = 0;
        }
}

I'd probably just touch a file somewhere when I want it to stop.. and
make it if (is_file($file)) { $loop=0; }

That's my opinion

Subject: [PHP] Program Looping ?

I've written a script that checks my email.  However, when I run the
script
(from the command line) -- I want it to loop with a 5 minute delay and
the
ability to stop the program anytime by pressing a key on the keyboard
(say)
the ~ key.

Anyone know how to do this?

<?

    function check_mail()
    {
        // my email code is here
    }

    check_mail();

?>

thanks.
jason
