From: rohezal2000 at yahoo dot de Operating system: Windows 98 SE PHP version: 4.3.5 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: termination because of max_input_time returns error for max_execution_time
Description: ------------ (I am posting the following as a documentation problem, since it refers to an unclear error message returned by PHP. It has nothing to do with the online documentation or any help files.) If a script is terminated because the uploading process (e.g. the sending of POST data) takes too long, an error message is returned stating that the script was terminated because of exceeding the max_execution_time. I was using a script to save files uploaded with POST to the server's harddisk. If it was a larger file, the following error message was returned: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in e:\www\apache\htdocs\ul\index.php on line 7 Since the script itself only needs seconds to execute, this led me to the false conclusion, that the uploading time is counted as script execution time. However, the error could not be corrected by setting the max_execution_time to a high value. The error message for termination because of script running time should not be used for termination because of input time to avoid confusion. (I am sorry if I double post this bug, the AND wordsearch in the bug area does not seem to work for me - I already filed a bug report about this) Reproduce code: --------------- php.ini: max_execution_time = 14400 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data line 7 of my script: <?php POST data to a script which takes over 60 seconds to send to get the error message. Expected result: ---------------- A message stating that the problem is the max_input_time variable, e.g.: Fatal error: Maximum input time of 60 seconds exceeded in e:\www\apache\htdocs\ul\index.php on line 7 Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 14400 seconds exceeded in e:\www\apache\htdocs\ul\index.php on line 7 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28572&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28572&r=float
