This isn't a problem, just an inquiry. I originally tried this:

PHP Code:

while (socket_change(g_hSocket, 1000000)) 


This created an infinite loop, so I'm using a for loop instead. But does anybody know why that would happen? It should only return true if new data is in the socket, right? :/

If you make an infinite loop, you're going to hang the server.

Just call once and it will return after socket change or timeout.

Use a task to call repeatedly

Really? I had no idea.

I'm not asking if it creates an infinite loop, I'm asking why that would create an infinite loop as it's only supposed to return true if there's new data in the socket.

It's checking if there's data waiting. But because your timeout is so large. It consently checks over and over. Until it times out (the server "locks up" but it's actually still checking)

If I lower the timeout, I don't get a response though. Weird.
