How do i implement this scenario using PHP?
parallel-processing, php
Solution
I don't know if this will work but you could try adding `Content-Length:` and `Connection: close` headers, and of course the explicitly flushing output.
EDIT: try this
ob_start();
//output
header("Content-Length: ".ob_get_length());
header("Connection: close");
ob_end_flush();
//do other stuff
Problem
I am writing an android application which uses C2DM. When a user sends some message to the server, the server replies back to the sender and forwards that message to a set of other users in the network. The problem is, the reply to the sender is delayed until the message is forwarded to all others. This is taking a lot of time. I want the reply to be sent back to sender first and then perform the forwarding process. How can i achieve this...? If i can use parallel processing, how can i do it in PHP...? Any help would be very much appreciated :) I have used something like this, ``` print(json_encode("Inserted Successfully"));//." ".count($tags))); while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $id = $row[0]; sendMessageToUserID($id,"New Question !!",$ques_id,"yyyy"); } ``` But, here "Inserted Successfully" is not sent to the sender, until after the while loop is executed.
