You can try this - 

<?php
    while(1) {
        "some code"
    }
?>

I encountered this same problem for running a java program infinitely on a linux server.

I solved the problem by using the linux 'screen' command, instructions found here

Do this:

<?php
    set_time_limit(0);
    ignore_user_abort(true);
    while(true) {
        //Do something
    }
?>

But it's a very very very bad idea to do that without a very very very good reason. You might run that kind of script in CLI and use a SIGINT or a SIGKILL to be sure stopping your script without rebooting your apache server... (Why I just explain that? Don't do it man, it's dangerous...)

you could start the script with popen() which starts a new commandline process. So you would start a CLI PHP with the desired script.

Run in commandline or run as a cronjob; you can also check for making a php file a system daemon:

http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/create_daemons_in_php/

Using PHP as a daemon allows you to make it run indefinitely, however you might have to reset it at regular intervals to ensure it does not stack memory.

By the way:

while( true )

does also work.
