Hi guys,
I got a function that checks on a status. It must loop until $flag=="true".
Code: Select all
$flag="false";
while (flag=="false") {
if (check_is_okay()) {
$flag="true";
} else {
do_something_else();
}
}
Since I know it will take some time I want to loop the function in a 5 second interval or something like that.
Has anyone a hint on how to do that?

Hi!
Try to use register_tick() instead of loop.

uh, i dont think this will work for me? if a tick is something like a process counter ... well the loop is the only thing that is to be executed at this point of the script.

I oriented by name (tick!) an thought it's a timer callback, as usual.
