Multiple event loop about event-loop HOT 5 CLOSED

You can't, unless one calls the other in a busy waiting manner. Why do you want two?

from event-loop.

The reason is #121

I want have event as main loop and select for pg_socket

from event-loop.

@sm2017 you can't without the loops blocking each other, have you tried any of the other event loops?

@sm2017 - If you are just looking for an async way to use Postgres - take a look at https://github.com/voryx/PgAsync which is based on react and rxphp.

This library is a 100% native PHP implementation.

The short version is: You can't.

The longer version is: You shouldn't. There are a number of work-arounds which basically resolve to polling one loop from the other one as @kelunik suggested or you may spawn/fork multiple processes and use some kind of IPC protocol etc.

The linked ticket #121 is a very specific issue with ext-event, so I would still suggest reporting this upstream and validating why this causes a SEGFAULT to begin with. As an alternative, I would suggest looking into using one of the alternative loop implementations as @WyriHaximus suggested. Also, @mbonneau made a very good point about using another database layer to avoid this issue in the first place.

I believe this has been answered, so I'm closing this for now. Please come back with more details if this problem persists and we can reopen this 👍
