Hell all, I have a jabber script that automatically load up all msgs for me into a mysql database... however, after it's done, the script still stays/sticks... how can I have it exit after one run? Please help, and any kind of help I can get on this, I would be very very thankful!

Answer 1

Remove while condition and try.
I think it will work.
Than use any flag variable and add it in while loop.

Answer 2

I suggest you two ways:
1- Using "set_time_limit" function that kills script after specified seconds and throws an error.
2- Define a variable before while loop and save time in that:
$time=time();
At the end of the while loop add this code:
if($time+TimeInSeconds<time()) exit();
These two ways can stop the script after some seconds.
I hope it will help.
