Can anyone see an error in this ......?

[roadrunner]

This is rules.php from a torrent script, but it just hangs and sends the server load sky high, just wondered if anyone can see a loop or the reason why its does it?

Cheers
RR

Code looks fine.

There's nothing there to cause infinite loops or timeouts (unless there's a huge amount of rules, then it may hang).

The problem is probably elsewhere, could be one of the following:
- Some bug in global.php
- dbconn() hanging because it can't connect to the DB (timeout)
- DB under extreme load, in which case the query may timeout

Either way it'll be caused by one of those custom functions or something in the included files, nothing in this file in particular.

Top man & thanks for that, I coudnt see anything wrong either, but thought best to ask someone that knows shit loads more than I do.
