I installed the libevent package, and as a test, tried [Example #1][http://us2.php.net/manual/en/libevent.examples.php] with a few modifications ( below; read from a file instead of stdin; write output to php log file ). I'm not seeing callback_func() being called, and I'm not seeing any errors, segfaults, etc ( I see my "ex1: started event loop" debug msg ). I'm using PHP 5.1.6 on Red Hat 3.4.6-2, and re: installation, I followed steps 4-9, and believe everything is installed properly: http://abhinavsingh.com/blog/2009/11/writing-a-custom-unix-style-tail-in-php-using-libevent-api-on-mac-os-x-10-5-x-and-other-platforms/ Any suggestions on how to go about getting this to work ? Thanks, <?php function callback_func($fd, $events, $arg) { error_log( "callback_func(): here !" ); static $max_requests; $max_requests++; if ($max_requests == 10) { /* exit loop after 10 writes */ event_base_loopexit($arg[1]); } /* read while we can */ $data = fread($fd, 4096); while (false !== $data) { //echo $data; error_log( "callback_func(): data = " . $data ); $data = fread($fd, 4096); } } /* create base and event */ $base = event_base_new(); $event = event_new(); //$fd = STDIN; $fd = fopen( "/dev/apache/logs/access_log", 'r' ); /* set event flags */ event_set($event, $fd, EV_READ | EV_PERSIST, "callback_func", array($event, $base)); /* set event base */ event_base_set($event, $base); /* enable event */ event_add($event); /* start event loop */ error_log( "ex1: starting event loop" ); event_base_loop($base); error_log( "ex1: started event loop" ); while( 1 ); ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
