Add timer within launched loop doesn't work

[jjsaunier]

Hey,

I'm making face to a problem, i need to dynamcally attach timer. I'm on the context of websocket server (on top of ratchet) and i would use timer to emit message.

So i have created a component to attach timer on specific connection. But the callback is just played once :(

It's the expected behavior ? Am i on the wrong to achieve that ?

Thanks

The loop has two timers. A one-off timer that's named addTimer for a single time call. And addPeriodicTimer for repeating calls. My guess if that you're using addTimer while you are expecting addPeriodicTimer.

You are right. I don't why i'm digging with "timer". 😫

Thank you ;)

Cheers. Forgot to add this but the first argument passed into a timer is the timer itself. You can stop it like this: $timer->cancel(); (You get the same $timer return when adding it to the loop.)
