Question

Is it possible to do a non-stopping program in PHP? For example, using 2% of processor and some memory all of the time. If it’s not possible, can you tell me what direction I should be looking for c++ non-stopping program (on UNIX server) and how to pass variables from PHP to c++.

EDIT:

First: I have max execution time which is stopping it (but I need it for other scripts in problem of bugs).

Second: I don’t want to burn server so while true it’s not the best idea (it have to have some max memory and processor usage).

Answer 1

You can use CLI

Create your php file and run it on the command line, it won’t stop unless the code ends

You can limit the memory usage: php -d memory_limit=128M my_script.php this is changing php.ini directives so you can edit on your own instead of defining it every time
