I have a script running permanently from command line on a web server. There is a loop checking new stuff in DB. To save some load I need to add a condition not to check the DB if there is no reason. When the change occurs I need immediate reaction, however it might happen that there is no change for a few hours. And yes, it is not possible to do it in the webpage_script.php :)
The idea is to use some kind or a SUPERGLOBAL variable and in webpage_script.php save TRUE to that variable and then check it in that condition in permanently_running_script_on_the_same_server.php.
However I didn't find any variable that can be used for that reason... when I try to use session_id('whateverisinhereblahblab') - to share the session, the webpage_script.php will not get loaded as the session is probably continually occupied...
webpage_script.php
$the_shared_variable['whatever'] === FALSE;
if ($something_happens){
$the_shared_variable['whatever'] === TRUE;
}
permanently_running_script_on_the_same_server.php
while (true) {
if($the_shared_variable['whatever'] === TRUE){
}
}

React is currently the leader in JavaScript UI frameworks. First, the Facebook developers started working on this to make their job easier. An app called Facebook Ads grew very quickly, which meant complex management and support. As a result, the team began to create a structure that would help them with efficiency. They had an early prototype before 2011, and two years later, the framework was open source and available to the public. It is currently used by many business giants: AirBNB, PayPal, Netflix, etc.
