[PHP] Script execution after window close
Hello, I need to run a few commands when a user close the browser tab. That is, I have a php page ( index.php ) and it will create a temporary file to track some stuffs. That temporary file should be removed, when the user close the browser tab. Is there any way to achieve this? Thank you, -- Regards Nibin. http://TechsWare.in

There are events in Javascript that you can use to trigger an Ajax call (such as onbeforeunload and onunload) but these work slightly differently from browser to browser and may not allow you to execute anything on the browser if the user is navigating away from the site or closing the tab/window. Why can't you use the session for this, and allow the session to expire after a certain period of inactivity, which would be better than reinventing what sounds like session behaviour. -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Might be an idea to describe what you're actually doing rather than focus on this particular part. Do you make changes to the file after you've copied it? If not, why not use the original copy? If you do modify is, how and why? I'll bet there's a better way to do what you're doing. If you absolutely need to make these copies, your best bet is to have a script executed by cron periodically to clean up files with a last modified timestamp older than n seconds, and make sure each page request calls the touch function for that user's file to updated the file's timestamp. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ On Sun, Mar 4, 2012 at 9:01 PM, Ashley Sheridan a...@ashleysheridan.co.ukwrote: ** On Sun, 2012-03-04 at 20:49 +0530, Nibin V M wrote: Hello, I need to run a few commands when a user close the browser tab.

Re: [PHP] Script execution after window close
ok..I have script which will run based on some values in user's homedir. In fact I have tried to run the script from a various locations; but it didn't work as expected like it run from each users homedir. So, when the user access the page, it will copy the actual script to the user's homedir and executes it. I don't want to leave it there for ever; so I have to remove it from there when the user close the browser ( or after a period of in activity ).

On first thoughts, it sounds like a path issue somewhere. If the script isn't run as the user but is just run as the same user from different users directories, then it's probably not a problem with the PATH environment variable (assuming your secondary script is some kind of Bash script). Let's see what you're doing with that and see if we can help. -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

[PHP] Script execution
Hi everybody. The problem that I'm having is probably because I've got more of a Windows background -- and it isn't so much a problem as a point of curiosity. I've recently noticed that when I write a script that they seem to have different permissions when executed at the command line. Two that I have written recently run just fine when you execute 'php scriptname.php' but they are unable, at least, to write the data if I browse to them on localhost. Am I imagining things? If not, how would I properly make them able to run through a browser? Thanks! G

G This is to do with the fact that the web browser runs as a different user from you (usually apache, apache2 or wwwrun) What you could do is make the directory where you want to write files with the script part of a new group. Add the apache user to this group and you should then be able to get it to run.

Re: [PHP] Script execution
Thanks everybody! I guess I was a little vague. I'm working on an OpenSUSE setup with Apache, MySQL and PHP. I just knew that my confusion was because of my Windows up-bringing. The writing I referred to was to a file. One example is I had a script that was pulling data from a database and using it to generate PDF files. This would work fine from the command line but _not_ if I pointed a browser at it. It wasn't an important difference because that script is a cronjob anyway. I just wanted to understand what was going on and how I could change it -- if I find later that I need to. Again, that's for the rapid and thorough help!

You could one up this class by creating another method that
automatically performs the last line.
i.e.
$timer-stop();
$timer-report();

[PHP] php script execution by linux automated task
Hello, I have some web application which is on some rented server. I have not root privilege just FTP access to application web folder. OS is Linux, web server Apache/1.3.27 and PHP version is 4.3.1 I need to define Linux task which will, in defined time, execute some PHP script (`somepage.php`). This script is under web folder. Does anybody can give me useful hint?

Re: [PHP] Script Execution via URL
This would work if the script you wished to call was default.php / index.php / etc etc... what I mean to say is site.com/index.php?var=foo is the same as site.com/?var=foo, as long as your server works that way. leaving out PHP_SELF will give different results if the script you wish to call ISN'T the default for that directory. PHP forms are just HTML forms. That is to say that once the code gets to the browser, it's just HTML code. So once the code is at the browser, it works just like any other page, where a user (or a javascript program) has to submit the form. justin on 01/09/02 12:08 AM, Sascha Braun ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hi everybody, i wrote a script which will be executed by HREF's.

[PHP] script execution stops after mail()
Hi, I've been skipping a night over this strange error: after execution of a mail() command, de rest of the script just gets ignored and my browser displays a Cannot find server or DNS Error page instead. Ideas about how to make this baby work would be very welcome; thanks in advance. I'm using PHP 4.0.6 on Apache/1.3.20 and sendmail -t -i. Just in case that helps.

Re: [PHP] script execution stops after mail()
Hi, Well the PHP script is timing out after it executes a no. of (or all the mail() commands). So what you got todo is either set the PHP's timeout limit to 0 or infinite. set_time_limit(0); Or you could invoke another program in the background disconnect PHP (terminal) from it, and voila. But if you want the mail command to be executed before anything else you will have to set the execution limit to infinite, or increase it to a very big limit, and also use ignore_user_abort(1); --- Vincent [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've been skipping a night over this strange error: after execution of a mail() command, de rest of the script just gets ignored and my browser displays a Cannot find server or DNS Error page instead.

RE: [PHP] script execution stops after mail()
Hey, It can be issues that PHP doesn't have control over for example if your systems' sendmail is being used by 100's of users, maybe it's taking for your request to be processed. So it could be more than just PHP, but you should basically when sending mail just but the mail in background. --- Vincent [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks, but for now the mail()-function is only used once. I already found the timeout-issue in the manual and will use your tip when I expand it to serve a mailing list. Have you ever heard of this problem before, so it could be a bug? Or is there something special with the quotes to do? I remember an earlier website I built that had problems too, but they were solved when I replaced single quotes by doubles. Back then, the error-page didn't appear also.

Re: [PHP] Script Execution Time
I have a php script that returns about 1.5Mb of data in text format to the
user. I am wondering if there is a way for php to display the time it took
to execute the script at the end of the file.
Put this at the top of the script:
code
function getmicrotime(){
list($usec, $sec) = explode( ,microtime());
return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}
$time_start = getmicrotime();
/code
..and this at the end:
code
$time_end = getmicrotime();
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
$foo = round ($time, 2);
echo Execution took $foo seconds.;
/code
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Jome

Re: [PHP] Script execution Speed
depends on the underlying FS - you might find yourself bitten by disk hits that could've been avoided... How about writing a small test suite and benching the server?
