Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.curl-multi-add-handle#Examples
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.curl-multi-close#Examples
---
The example on these pages shows a spinloop waiting for curl_multi_exec to say it's done.  A junior person in our group tried to follow that example to transfer some image files and couldn't understand why it ran for an hour and did nothing.

Suggest deleting this example and linking to the one on the curl_multi_exec page, which calls curl_multi_select to pause until there's data to transfer.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I cannot reproduce this on PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze1

Both versions run in a couple of seconds, especially if I use lxr.php.net instead of example.com like in the other example.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
