ID: 11895 User Update by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: ODBC related Operating system: win2k PHP Version: 4.0.6 Description: total crash of PHP We played with the indexes and now the data is returning a lot faster (2 seconds where it was over 60!) Someone who was meant to have placed these indexes did not test for this query :] Anyway, you can still crash php/apache with the following code IF you go beyond the script timeout limits. Apache spawns an instance for each request so it only crashes individual instances of apache, but its still not to good. I think if you load php as a CGI you can run into bigger problems. Here is some code; <html> <body> <?php //change these to suit your set-up //change $PC to any 4 numbers $PC = "2000"; $DB_DSN = "SomeDNS"; $DB_USR = "SomeUser"; $DB_PWD = "SomePass"; $query = "SELECT TOP 500 PVMAL.STATE, " . " PVMAL.POSTCODE, " . " PVMAL.UNIT, " . " PVMAL.UNIT_NO, " . " PVMAL.HOUSE_NO, " . " PVMAL.ST_NAME, " . " PVMAL.ST_TY, " . " PVSALES.SALE_PRICE, " . " PVSALES.SALE_DATE, " . " PVSUBURB.SUBURB " . " FROM PVMAL " . " JOIN PVSUBURB " . " ON PVMAL.SUBURB_ID = PVSUBURB.SUBURB_ID " . " JOIN PVSALES " . " ON PVMAL.MALID = PVSALES.MALID " . "WHERE PVMAL.POSTCODE = " . $PC . " AND " . "PVSALES.SALE_DATE > '01-jan-2000' " . "ORDER BY PVSALES.SALE_DATE DESC"; $alt = 0; $CON = odbc_connect($DB_DSN, $DB_USR, $DB_PWD); $RS = odbc_exec($CON,$query); if (odbc_num_rows($RS) > 0) { //echo($State . " " . $PC); ?> <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" border="0"> <tr> <td width="210"><b>Sales History With Valid Address</b></td> <td width="65"><b>Sale Price</b></td> <td width="65"><b>Sale Date</b></td> <td width="55"><b>Type</b></td> <td width="65"><b>Details</b></td> </tr> <? for ($i=1;odbc_fetch_row($RS,$i);$i++) { $Address1 = "xx " . trim(odbc_result($RS,"ST_NAME")) . " " . trim(odbc_result($RS,"ST_TY")) . ", "; $Address2 = odbc_result($RS,"SUBURB") . ", " . odbc_result($RS,"STATE") .

"xxxxxx"; $SD = explode("-",substr(odbc_result($RS,"SALE_DATE"),0,10)); $SaleDate = "$SD[2]/$SD[1]/$SD[0]"; $PropDetails = " "; if ($alt == 1) { $bgcol = "FFFFFF"; } else { $bgcol = "FFE2CC"; } ?> <tr bgcolor="#<? echo($bgcol); ?>" valign="top"> <td><? echo($Address1 .

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in c:websitestigsample_report2.php on line 49 and 'Program Error' box is popped up on the server (Dr Watson) saying 'Apache.exe has generated errors and will be .... ' When php is run as a CGI the error msg says that 'php.exe has generated...' Line 49 of the code is; $RS = odbc_exec($CON,$query); The weirdest bit is if I re-run the same query with the same variables (after the restart of apache) the query is nice and fast. I think SQL2000 is caching the results somehow. The variable is required and will be any number between 700 and 9999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-05 02:52:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you confirm that it crashes at around 60 seconds if you use set_time_limit(60); at the top of your script? Derick --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-04 22:24:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] an ODBC query that takes a long time to excute (> 30 sec) will crash php and requires apache to restart. This is when loading php as an apache modual or as a CGI apache 1.3.20 (win2k) php 4.0.6 (win2k) SQL2000 (win2k) The SQL2000 database has over 30 million records and is performing a scan (on indexed records) I'm more than willing to test code or help out to fix this btw --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11895 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
