Hey guys,
I need your help regarding the PHP `reap_async_query()` function. I came across this function while working on my project and I'm having some trouble understanding how it works exactly. I have already gone through the PHP documentation, but I'm still unsure about its practical implementation.
To give you some context, I'm currently building a web application using PHP and MySQL. On certain pages, I need to run multiple queries asynchronously to improve performance. I found out that PHP provides an `async_query()` function for this purpose, but I'm not entirely sure how to handle the results after the queries have been executed.
I stumbled upon the `reap_async_query()` function, which seems to be related to processing the results of asynchronous queries. However, I couldn't find any substantial examples or explanations online.
Could someone please provide me with a clearer explanation of how to use the `reap_async_query()` function? It would be great if you could also provide a simple example illustrating its usage.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey folks,
I've come across this discussion on `reap_async_query()` and thought I'd share my personal experience with it. I recently encountered a similar scenario while working on a PHP project that involved executing multiple asynchronous queries.
To utilize the `reap_async_query()` function effectively, I followed a step-by-step approach. First, I executed the asynchronous queries using the `async_query()` function and stored the query identifiers for each query. This allowed me to keep track of the queries being executed concurrently.
Once the asynchronous queries were initiated, I then utilized a loop and `reap_async_query()` to process the completed queries. By repeatedly calling `reap_async_query()` within the loop, I could fetch the results of each executed query and perform necessary operations on them.
Here's a concise example to illustrate this approach:
In this example, `async_query()` is called for each asynchronous query, with the corresponding query identifiers (`$queryId1`, `$queryId2`) stored. By using separate loop iterations for each query's `reap_async_query()` calls, I was able to process the results individually.
Keep in mind to incorporate appropriate error handling by checking `mysqli_error($connection)` to handle any potential errors during query execution.
I hope my personal experience helps you better understand the practical usage of `reap_async_query()`. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to assist! Happy coding!
