Hi Brad, It's a little tough to say for sure since you didn't specify your OS or platform (always good info to include), but if you're on *nix then you'll need to tell the child process to run in the background and redirect the output from the child process to somewhere else (say, a log file). You also didn't say how you're executing the child process, but here's a common way to do it using backticks: `/path/to/executable "$arg1" "$arg2" >> /path/to/logfile.log 2>&1 &` The '>> /path/to/logfile.log' redirects standard output from the process to your log file. The '2>&1' following that redirects the process's standard error to its standard output (which means that error messages will also be written to the log file), and the final ampersand puts the child process into the background. The same technique also works with exec() etc. Torben -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] running python in php timeout
Hi, I'm executing a python script from php that runs quite a long time (15+ minutes) and ends up timing out. Is there a way I can execute the python code and move on executing the remaining php code on the page?

Re: [PHP] Timeout while waiting for a server->client transfer to start (large files)
Well thanks again,
but I already know what the problem is, it is the response headers being
added to the ouput file. I just tried with a different code and it seems
to output the file ok, so i must be going wrong somewhere in the order in
which i output headers and so on.
i'm gonna keep working on it, i think i have to start from scratch though
to see where i made the mistake exactly.

Open the file you download with a text or hex editor.
Compare to the original.
If you can't spot the problem right off, download the original with
FTP and use "diff" to compare the two.
Or, if you don't have "diff", upload the broken download with FTP and
use "diff" on the server.
If it's OK on the server, and not coming out OK in the download,
figure out what's different between the two.

Re: [PHP] Timeout while waiting for a server->client transfer to start (large files)
Thanks
I have already another post dealing with this issue. (check newsgroup for
Server to client file transfer always corrupt).
I had figured out the problem that was corrupting the file, it is the
response headers that are being added to the file when it is downloaded,
and i don't know how to trim them. I am using a different trim method i
'borrowed' from another script (where it seems to work perfectly!), and I
just can't understand why it won't work for me, unless as u say, there are
other errors being output, but I have looked at the text file and I don't
see anything other than the headers there. When I use the trim script to
remove them, it also seems to remove part of the start and end of the text
file.
I think the most annoying aspect of whole thing is why it is so difficult
to find a solution to this problem, i'm sure other people must have come
across this problem?
thanks again :)

If that's not going to work because you are stripping out part of the
file, or something, Use fgets to get the header info, and then use
fseek to reset the file pointer to the beginning:
http://php.net/fseek
You can then read as much or as little as you like with fread.
As far as the corrupt files go, compare what you got with the download
and the original in a text editor or a hex editor to see what
happened.
You might have some PHP warnings or notices at the front of the file,
or at the end, messing the file contents up.

Hello Richard
Well, thank you for pointing that out to me! I was actually trying to
read
it into RAM, but that was a silly mistake.
But now I have the problem that, even though you are correct, the
problem
seems to still remain, in the sense that I actually *need* to read the
start of the file just to get the header info (so i can retrieve the
Content-Length, and the filename).
Since I tried your method above, I thought I had got the script to
finally
work - which it seemed to - but every file I download with it is
corrupt.
I tried downloading a WinRAR file, and I get 'unexpected end of
archive'.
:( I know for a fact that the archive itself is NOT corrupt, because I
tried it with various different files and all of them ended up
corrupt!
I found some info on the net about fread() and fgets(), and it seems
that
fgets() only reads one line of data up to 1024 bytes, or in my case,
64
bytes. This is what I want to happen, because I need the 'reading' to
abort/break when I have read the required info from the header...I
wish
(and hope!) there was an easier way to get this info other than
searching
for it. :|
Now I am truly vexed because the files are all corrupt when
downloaded,
because I can't see anything wrong with the code. I have added a few
comments, so you can see what I think is the problematic area.
By the way, many thanks for your enthusiastic help so far! - I hope
you
don't take this email to mean I will be mailing you frequently,

I know you must be busy, and I only mailed you as a last resort!

Your script is reading the whole file, 64 measly bytes at a time, into
a monstrous string $tmp.
Then, finally, when you've loaded the whole [bleep] file into RAM in

Don't do that.

You can play around with 2048 versus 64 versus 100 on your box to
see what's "fastest" but I'll be pretty shocked if 64 bytes is the
best performer...

Well you're still reading the file (or url or something) at this point.
Is it the reading of the file or sending it to the browser that fails?
A bit of context might help for this code too. Is this reading a local
file or url or what?
If it's a local file, use fpassthru (http://php.net/fpassthru) if it's
not too big. If it is a big file then use your loop but don't store it
in a $tmp variable, just output it.

Hi all
just a note that the problem was with the php 4.3.2 version finally and
nothing to do with permissions.
So if anyonwe has a similar problem, install a different version (the 4.3.4

Re: [PHP] PHP timeout
it looks like it has nothing to do with MySQL and just with php
I'm running a simple script like
$x=23;
echo $x;
and it displays the number 23 properly, but the page keeps loading like
there is something else to load too.

Hi,
Make sure the mysql service is started and make sure that there isn't
anything else competing for the same port (3306) beyond that i am afraid

Re: [PHP] PHP timeout
Mario, Please don't reply to a message when you want to ask a question compose a new thread instead. Anyway from what you have described it sounds like you have a firewall that's blocking the mysql port. Somefirewalls just drop the packets instead of denying the connection. That way the script just hangs an eternit waiting for a packet that never arrives. Try stopping your firewall completely .

[PHP] Timeout and fsockopen
Hello!
I'm trying to find if some host is up or not.
For example
$fp = @fsockopen ('www.damirjosar.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, 1);
because this url is expired it takes about 10 seconds to get response from
DNS, but with fsockopne it take 62 seconds. but i set timeout to 1.
I also try checkdnsrr and gethostbyname and all functions takes about 60
seconds. Why?. Can this be set to lover value.
I was looking in source code, but I'm not good at C, so I can't figure out
what the problem is.
I'm doing some link checker and when i get to host like this everything
stops and waits

Ok, I've got it working now, it looks like you have to make your script more complient to HTTP specs, it seems this server is very picky on how you read the data. which is very odd.. got it working at: http://zirzow.dyndns.org/php/fread/timeout.php funny though you should be able to do a straight fread on it.

which HTTP version are you requesting? I know that if you send a
HTTP/1.1 then a lot of servers send the data in chunks, thus your

Okay, that does sound more efficient. I'd love to give this a try, but to be completely honest I haven't done much from the shell other than basic commands and managing MySQL. I do know that my host allows me to use crontab, though, and most other common *nix programs. Could you (or any of the other readers) explain how I would go about using cron or at to do what my function is trying to do? "Chris Hewitt" wrote: > It may well be a DNS problem.

[PHP] Timeout during SMTP operation.
Hi all,
I've just finished a PHP/MySQL mailing list. Basically, I'm having problems
with my sendmail function. It takes an array of e-mail addresses
($addresses) and loops through it, e-mailing each one using an SMTP class I
found (the only identifying comment in it is "SMTP Class By TOMO
(2001/09/14)"). The problem is, it's very slow. The typical array of
addresses sent to this is 100 to 500 elements large. The actual mailing list
has over 7000 members, but the e-mails are sent out to a geographical
region. Ideally, though, this function should be able to handle mailing to
the entire member base.
Here's the offending function (with private stuff altered). Currently, it
will only send to about 50 of the addresses before Internet Explorer times
out and cuts it off (perhaps five minutes or so). Note that this is without
catches, so it skips to the 'else'.
If I comment out the sending part, as shown, the operation takes a split
second and the log is written correctly, so I know the problem lies in the
sending of the mail. The only solution I can think of is to make the user
send things in chunks of 50 or so addresses, but I'd like to avoid this
inconvenience if I can. Any ideas?

Is this true? I haven't heard about this.

Re: [PHP] timeout
If you set_tiome_limit(0) your script will not be timed out as long as it keeps sending something every now and then. If it just sits there without outputting anything, then Apache will kill it off eventually.

[PHP] timeout
Hello, if i set set_time_limit(0) will my script still timeout and see in the browser: Page timed out and cannot be displayed? is there is anything I can do to prevent a script that takes an hour to finish processing from being killed when timeout occurs?

I think you'll find that's the IIS CGI timeout, not PHPs. You can find that setting in the site properties, Home Directory tab, click on the Configuration button, then go to the Process Options tab. At the bottom of that tab you should have a CGI script timeout value.

Re: [PHP] PHP timeout
Hmm, I haven't heard of such a thing. That's kinda weird though because just yesterday I modified my timeout settings for my script that parses logfiles that are several thousand lines long, and it worked. Did you perhaps forget to reboot the server? If you have my suggestion is perhaps taking a look at FoxServ, it is a very good server that auto configures itself on your machine with apache and the whole lot. www.foxserv.net - Original Message - From: Kim Bauters Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2002 5:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP timeout I'm running PHP script that check for the existance of certain pages on the web.
