continuous loop

[ratcateme]

I want to create an IRC bot the idea is that the script never ends until i send a kill message in IRC but i want to know about the best way to create the continuous loop that will check if any new messages have been sent on the server and respond to any commands sent to the bot this is what i have at the moment

<?php
while(1==1){
    //read stream
    //do stuff
}
?>

my question is weather 1==1 is the best way to create a loop or if i should use something else.

 

Scott.

Most people would just write:

  while(1){
  }

  // OR

  while(true){
  }

//while infinite loop
while(1)
{ 
     // your code
}
//alternative
while(true)
{ 
    // your code
}
//For Infinite Loop
for($i=0; ;$i++)
{
    //your code
}
