Re: Is there any way to listen to NOTIFY in php without polling?

As far as I understood, with php I have to query the server again and
again, and pg_get_notify will either return something or not depending
on the query result:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-get-notify.php

The provided sample however blocks until a notify is received (and
does so 4 times just for demonstration puporse), so instead of
frequently asking the server for notifications (polling), it wakes up
when a notification arrives.

It isn't ;)
