Re: [PHP]Zip and text files generated are corrupted
I've already specified the outputs, and it doesn't change if I put it in a
file.
1)In the first scenario, where all the data are compressed together, the
only call of exec('zip') give this output:
OUTPUT
adding: bin/ (stored 0%)
adding: bin/startHotFixInstaller.bat (deflated 41%)
adding: bin/startHotFixInstaller.sh (deflated 49%)
adding: software/ (stored 0%)
adding: software/hotfixes/ (stored 0%)
adding: software/hotfixes/hfFolder/ (stored 0%)
[snip]
adding: software/hotfixes/hfFolder/Patch-632Q3-033/Server/lib/julia.jar
(deflated 4%)
adding: software/hotfixes/hfFolder/Patch-632Q3-033/Server/software/
/OUTPUT
I snipped the output because it is a lot of the same, but, you'll notice
that in the last line, the status of the file between parenthesis is
missing, which leads me to think it has been interrupted.
I've made a few research in between.Of note, the status with which he
exited. Status 14 for the zip command means error writing to a file. But
it isn't always at the same files. Also, I upped the value of
max_input_time in php.ini from 60 to 600. Before the change the exec
instructions took about 60 seconds before interrupting, after it takes about
180-200 seconds and not 600 as expected.
2)In the second scenario, as said, I copy the previous patch (P14, which
itself is a behemoth of a zip archive that was manually assembled) and then
add and delete only a few folders, each calling the function exec('zip...').
Each time it ends with status 2, which means unexpected end of zip files.
And there is no output to each of those commands.
As for the single exec('zip..') in 1), the copy() of the previous patch took
about 60 seconds before the php.ini change and about 180-200 seconds after.
I take it that the copy() is interrupted thus explaining the unexpected end
of zip files (I can open the original patch P14 without any problem).
I hope I made myself more clear on the details of my problem.

Not the return value of exec() which is the last line, but the whole

If you can't see it due to pushing the file as part of the script,
then try something like ...

[PHP] Allowing multiple, simultaneous, non-blocking queries.
Hi. As I understand things, one of the main issues in the When will PHP grow up thread was the ability to issue multiple queries in parallel via some sort of threading mechanism. Due to the complete overhaul required of the core and extensions to support userland threading, the general consensus was a big fat No!. As I understand things, it is possible, in userland, to use multiple, non-blocking sockets for file I/O (something I don't seem to be able to achieve on Windows http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47918). Can this process be leveraged to allow for non-blocking queries? Being able to throw out multiple non-blocking queries would allow for the queries in parallel issue. My understanding is that at the base level, all queries are running on a socket in some way, so isn't this facility nearly already there in some way?

[PHP] Moving to Minneapolis...
Anyone reading this from Twin Cities? I just bought a home there, moving by the end of April or sooner, would really appreciate any job leads or advice! LinkedIn Resume http://www.linkedin.com/in/rvarshavskaya Here are some more specific specific questions I have - please feel free to take this offline, it's probably too boring for a general discussion :) * Where to look? The usual job boards seem to be dominated by Microsoft stack postings. Where are all the PHP jobs? * What is the compensation range for senior LAMP developers, either hourly or full-time? I know I won't make what I have been making in New York... where should I set my expectations? * What is the mix in terms of companies vs agencies vs startups? * Any GOOD recruiters? Local PHP lists? Thanks in advance for any help!
Re: [PHP] Allowing multiple, simultaneous, non-blocking queries.
Hi Richard At the end of discussion, the best bet for something that approaches a threaded version of multiple queries would be something like: 1. open connection to database 2. issue query using asynchronous call (mysql and postgresql support this, haven't checked the others) 3. pick up result when ready To get the threaded-ness, just open a connection per query you want to run asynchronous and pick it up when you're ready for it - i.e. iterate over steps 1-2, then do step 3 when things are ready.

Re: [PHP]Zip and text files generated are corrupted
I already used error_reporting and set_time_limit and the use of
ini_set('display_errors', 1); didn't display more exceptions.
However the modification in the exec helped display STDERR I think.
1) In the first scenario we have the following:
STDERR
zip warning: ../../build/Patch-6-3-2_Q3P15.zip not found or empty
zip error: Internal logic error (write error on zip file)
/STDERR
The funny thing is, that now it is throwing status 5: a severe error in the
zipfile format was
detected. Processing probably failed immediately. Why It throw a status 5
instead of a status 14, I can't say.
So that's using 'zip -gr', when I stop using the option g and then call
exec('zip -r ...'), then I only get:
STDERR
zip error: Internal logic error (write error on zip file)
/STDERR
2) The error messages of the second scenario doesn't surprise me much:
STDERR
zip error: Unexpected end of zip file (build/Patch-6-3-2_Q3P15.zip)
/STDERR
Which was already known, as the call of copy() on the old patch P14 crop it
and thus prevent any operation to be done on it.

I'm really stumped, it seems that although the script is running under

processing the big file.
Is there any configuration in php.ini (or anywhere else) that I could
change
to permit copy() or exec(zip) to run through without being
interrupted?

What is the output of the exec when the command fails?
Not the return value of exec() which is the last line, but the whole
thing, which is returned in the second parameter.
If you can't see it due to pushing the file as part of the script,
then try something like ...
exec('zip ', $Output);
file_put_contents('./ZipResults.txt', $Output);

I _think_ that the $Output will only hold STDOUT and not STDERR.
Can you try this ...
exec(zip 21, $Output);
Also,
error_reporting(-1); // Show ALL errors/warnings/notices.
ini_set('display_errors', 1); // Display them.
set_time_limit(0); // Allow run forever

I already used error_reporting and set_time_limit and the use of
ini_set('display_errors', 1); didn't display more exceptions.
However the modification in the exec helped display STDERR I think.
1) In the first scenario we have the following:
STDERR
zip warning: ../../build/Patch-6-3-2_Q3P15.zip not found or empty
zip error: Internal logic error (write error on zip file)
/STDERR
The funny thing is, that now it is throwing status 5: a severe error in the
zipfile format was
detected. Processing probably failed immediately. Why It throw a status 5
instead of a status 14, I can't say.
So that's using 'zip -gr', when I stop using the option g and then call
exec('zip -r ...'), then I only get:
STDERR
zip error: Internal logic error (write error on zip file)
/STDERR
2) The error messages of the second scenario doesn't surprise me much:
STDERR
zip error: Unexpected end of zip file (build/Patch-6-3-2_Q3P15.zip)
/STDERR
Which was already known, as the call of copy() on the old patch P14 crop it
and thus prevent any operation to be done on it.
So, the error is in the execution of the exec.
Can you run the exec twice but to 2 different zip files.
If the issue is that PHP is timing out, then the first error COULD be
due to the process being killed and if so, the second one won't start.
But if the second one starts, then that pretty much rules out PHP timeouts.
I assume you've checked disk space and read access to the files in
question? i.e. they aren't locked by another user?

Is another header sent later in the program flow? It would supercede

Re: [PHP]Zip and text files generated are corrupted
I have checked the rights on the file for the first scenario and no user as
locked it, I can see it, read it and write into it. I could even delete it
if I wanted.
For the second scenario, it doesn't even apply, as the exec('zip') that
timeout try to create a new file (naturally in a folder where the web app
user has all the necessary rights)
In both case, it is no PHP timeout, as after the copy() in the first
scenario, and the exec('zip') in the second scenario, the script continue to
execute the other instructions, although the manipulation of the big files
fails.
But if it is not a PHP timeout, what is it?

I'm not sure. What is the exact command you are using?
I wonder if the zipArchive route would be easier.
According to the documentation, both Apache and IIS have similar
timeout values ...
Your web server can have other timeout configurations that may also
interrupt PHP execution. Apache has a Timeout directive and IIS has a
CGI timeout function. Both default to 300 seconds. See your web server
documentation for specific details.
(http://docs.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-execution-time)
Can you run the command from the shell directly without any problems.
And run it repeatedly.

I agree, using frameworks makes the job infinite times easier, but as a learning point of view, you should first try to build some applications (not to sell or freelance!) from scratch without using any frameworks. You can of course use minimal PEAR packages. This way you will get a lot to know how to write efficient PHP code. Yes this will take time, but in future you may be one of the best developers coding PHP out there ! Lastly, PEAR isn't a framework, though combining various packages out there you can make one :) First try Zend, its the easiest to use as far I've seen.
