Remarks

It is not necessary to unsubscribe and then subscribe again if you want to change parameters of existing subscription, such as its update rate (OPC Classic) or sampling interval (OPC UA).

A single subscription

Instead of unsubscribing and subscribing again, change the parameters by calling the ChangeItemSubscription (OPC Classic) or ChangeDataChangeSubscription or ChangeMonitoredItemSubscription (OPC UA) method, passing it the subscription handle, and the new parameters in form of DAGroupParameters object (in OPC Data Client.NET), EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments (in OPC Data Client-UA) or individually a requested update rate or sampling interval, and optionally a deadband value (this is the only way in OPC Data Client-COM).

Examples for OPC Classic:

// "Be careful how you use this feature; if you are doing something similar to the example below, then it doesn't really make 
// sense to run it in a web server context.". What they are trying to say is that processing a web request should be 
// a short-lived code, which does not fit well with the idea of being subscribed to events and received them over longer time. 
// It is possible to write such code, but it is only useful when processing the request is allowed to take relatively long. Or, 
// when you are using PHP from command-line, or otherwise - not to serve a web page directly.
// 
// Subscribing to QuickOPC-COM events in the context of PHP Web application, while not imposing the limitations to the request 
// processing time, has to be "worked around", e.g. using the "event pull" mechanism.
