Rockerz Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I am using the ReactPHP event loop with periodic timer. The code works but the browser always shows that the activity is going on (the circle on the chrome tab is always running, refer the link to image below) and it runs only once. Is it possible to get rid of the running circle and still the periodic loop should run in loop at given intervals to execute the code within the loop. Please advise. Circle on the tab Below is my code, Note: **getAll($temp) is a function with parameter in another .php file. I have got the file as include in my current .php file. $Loop=React\EventLoop\Factory::create(); $Loop->addPeriodicTimer(5, function(React\EventLoop\TimerInterface $timer) use(&$temp, $Loop, &$Total) { try{ $Total = getAll($temp); echo"<script>document.getElementById('Overall').innerText=".$Total."</script>"; }catch (Exception $e){ echo "Error in Loop"; throw $e; } }); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 If you want to send something to the browser then there must be a connection open. Which is what the spinning circle is telling you. If you don't want the spinning circle then you need to keep the open connection over something like AJAX or a WebSocket. Which is a different (but better) design than what you have right now.

NotionCommotion Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It is uncharacteristic for me to say so, but I believe you have an xy problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
