time out in php

[carobee]

hi everyone

i m trying to write a script where i m communicating between C program and a php program through message queue. i want to add a time out feature in both sides, so that when the php script is looking for message it should not stay blocked ,rather wait for sometime and if there is no message available then come back.

can anyone help please? im in urgent need..

If it's a script that is being run by the client, it wouldn't make a difference. You want it to run in the background without the client's browser being on that particular page?

if the php script finds no message in the message queue ,then it should stop and show a time out error( i.e i guess i have to stop the php script).it is the scipt runnin in client side

PHP shows a time out error or the browser does?

let me elaborate a bit

i have to collect the message in php on the other side. what i designed follows like this
1)sent the message from php script to C prog
2)if C prog receives , then sends a ack to php script
3)php script receives the ack from php.meanwhile C prog monitors the message queue for in coming messages. if there is no message the for atleast say some sec, then sends a nack
4)the php script on receiving the nack should time out.

i have finished all the steps, but i start again from step one without ending the C program, then the php script goes on halt. the C program is using threads
