I've been digging around looking for info on precisely this topic.

Not sure whether your code will work (infinitely). It will simply hit
the maximum page execution time set by php.ini on the server - then
throw an ugly error.

You could extend that time with ini_set() - but I'm not sure whether
there's a memory or performance hit on a server processing an infinite
loop. It would also dependon what is actually happeniong iside the
loop.
