PHP longpolling running endlessly please help?

Try the following solution (see the documentation on connection_aborted() function ).

That's exactly why you don't want to do this. You need to remove this script, and move the updateUserTimestamp() to some global script that is called frequently, ideally the script where the user status is changed (because, if no user status changes, it doesn't have to be updated either).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
