Gearman with multiple servers and php workers

Question

I\'m having a problem with gearman workers running on multiple servers which i can\'t seem to solve.

The problem occurs when a worker server is taken offline, rather tha

I use this class, which keep track of which jobs work on which servers. It hasn't been thoroughly tested, just wrote it now. I've pasted an edited version, so there might be a typo or somesuch, but otherwise appears to solve the issue.

setTimeout(self::$timeout);

                # add the default job server
                self::$gmclient->addServer($server = self::getServer($job));

                return $server;
        }

        static function Destroy() {
                self::$gmclient = false;
        }

        static function Client($name, $vars, $timeout = false) {
                if (is_int($timeout)) {
                        self::$timeout = $timeout;
                } else {
                        self::$timeout = self::$defaultTimeout;
                }


                do {
                        $server = self::Connect(false, $name);
                        $value = self::$gmclient->do($name, $vars);
                        $return_code = self::$gmclient->returnCode();
                        if (!$value) {
                                $error_message = self::$gmclient->error();
                                if ($return_code == 47) {
                                        self::serverFailed($server, $name);
                                        if (count(self::$server_array) > 1) {
                                             // ADDED SINGLE SERVER LOOP AVOIDANCE // echo "Timeout on server $server, trying another server...\n";
                                             continue;
                                        } else {
                                             return false;
                                        }
                                }

                        }
                        # printf("Worker has returned\n");

                                list($numerator, $denominator)= self::$gmclient->doStatus();
                                echo "Status: $numerator/$denominator\n";

                        default:
                                echo "ERR: $error_message " . self::$gmclient->error() . " ($return_code)\n";

                $rv = unserialize($value);
                return $rv["rv"];
