Timeout in HTML
|
|
|
Hi all!
I have a PHP script, which in extreme cases take more than one hour to
load. That is on the HTML side, where the browser by some reason might
cut off, before the PHP has finished.
The point is that I can see that the PHP does what it should right
until the end, while the client side says the page could not be found.
I should mention, that a large amount of information is sent to the
client including an <iframe> with a reloading status message. But after
one hour without </html> the browser (IE) goes on to "the page cannot
be found".
How do I overcome this?

See set_time_limit and ini_set functions. The "ini_set" can be used to
set the "max_execution_time" parameter value, the same thing as with
"set_time_limit".

Make it go faster, or find some notification mechanism to tell users
when a pre-cached version is available, so that tehy can load it
quickly. There's no point in taking this long over a HTTP transaction,
it's likely to get abandoned by timeout at almost any point of the
process, including firewalls and proxies. |

Why?
If it's that a particular long-winded administration task (e.g. database
re-indexing) needs to be run on the server occasionally, consider running
the PHP as a schedules job (using e.g. cron) and outputting the result
into a static HTML file for later viewing.

Most times I write a script that takes more than 30 seconds to execute and
doesn't download content from third party servers, I find that it's poorly
optimized and I'm able to speed it up improving my code. Just my 2 cents

You should look at the following:
http://www.php.net/ignore_user_abort
Tells PHP to keep going even if the browser disconnects. Use this with
care! Bear in mind that a frustrated user hitting refresh 10 times in
quick succession will end up causing 10 parallel processes to start up!
