[SOLVED] PHP repeat curl request until httpcode 200 is received

Issue

I have a simple curl request in PHP like so:

$request = curl_init('https://some/path/');
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json','Authorization:'.$token));

$response = curl_exec($request);
$errors = curl_error($request);
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($request, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($request);

The url I'm calling will return a 202 if it is still preparing the data and a 200 when it is ready.

How can I build in logic to repeat the request until I receive a 200 response.

Solution

For future reference, rather than an infinite loop spamming the request I've used sleep and break, so it will try every 10 seconds for max 1 minute, like so:

for($i=0; $i<6; $i++){
    $request = curl_init('https://some/path/');
    curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json','Authorization:'.$token));
    
    $response = curl_exec($request);
    $errors = curl_error($request);
    $httpcode = curl_getinfo($request, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($request);
    
    if($httpcode == 200){
        var_dump($response);
        break;
    }
    sleep(10);
}
