How do I write this While statement in my php applicatin

Could someone show me how to write this while loop for my php application please?

Because of the current curl connection issue we are having, in the short term, I am just forcing curl to re-excute up to 4 times and that is working for right now. We will address the real reason behind the connection issue later.

what I want to say is:
while $curlValue is either 7 or curlValue is 0 or $socketValue is 111 and the $curlCounter is less 4
{
run this code
}

how do I correctly write this while state for php. my first attempt is attached.

$curlValue = curl_errno($ch);
                         $socketValue = curl_error($ch);
                         $curlCounter = 0;
                           while($curlValue == 7 || $socketValue == 111 AND $curlCounter < 4 )

$curlValue = curl_errno($ch);
                         $socketValue = curl_error($ch);
                         $curlCounter = 0;
                           while(($curlValue == 7 || $curlValue == 0 || $socketValue == 111) AND $curlCounter < 4)

HI Medo3337:

while(($curlValue == 7 || $curlValue == 0 || $socketValue == 111) AND $curlCounter < 4)
This doesn't work, I am getting a syntax error

now this seems to work:
(($curlValue == 7 || $socketValue == 111) AND $curlCounter < 4 )

but when I try to add || $curlValue ==0 it breaks

Brad Brett

The code I posted should work perfectly without syntax error.

What is the full code that has syntax error?

Ray Paseur

If you're looking at curl_errno() and you find 7, nothing else matters and there is not any reason for a while() control structure. It failed, full stop.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-errno.php#103128

Maybe if you want to tell us at a little higher level what the objectives are, we can suggest a good design pattern for using CURL.

Hi Ray

This is just a stop gap remedy for right now so the clients can keep working. There was a change to server environment that my app connects to, now I get sporadic curl 7 and 0 errors. nothing is clear right now, I just have to get a quick fix in before the clients loose their minds or cause me to loose mine.

Brad Brett

If you can provide the code you are working in, we will be able to assist you better.

Ray Paseur

Agree with Medo3337 - we probably need to see the rest of the code.

while(($curlValue == 7 || $curlValue == 0 || $socketValue == 111) AND $curlCounter < 4)

is the syntax error you are getting on the while line or a different line?

Tyler Laczko

try retyping the statement. maybe there was a typo.
