php - try, catch, and retry

Question

Sometimes my code breaks and it is out of my control

How would I do the following?

try {
//do my stuff
}
catch {
//sleep and try again
}
         


        

Answer 1

Here is an easy algorithm:

    do{
        try {
            $tryAgain = false;
            /* Do everything that throws error here */

        }
        catch(Exception $e) {
            $tryAgain = true;
            /* Do error reporting/archiving/logs here */

        }
    } while($tryAgain);
