Re: [PHP] Timing problem, putting PNG into PDF
I'm using GD to crop save an uploaded image, and then embedding it into a PDF made with FPDI. It works great when the image is small or low-res. When the uploaded file is bigger, more than a couple hundred K or so, it fails. I think that the image is not done writing yet by the time I try to do the $pdf-Image. Any suggestions? Some way to force it to hang out and pause until the image is done writing? I know that this is naive but maybe sleep will do the job. Try to write the file and then put something like sleep(2) to give it time to finish the IO. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php -- Thodoris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Pare your script down to just the resize action, and turn error reporting on. What function are you calling to do the resize? It shouldn't return until it's finished processing. BTW, ImageMagick produces smoother results than GDLib when resizing. -- http://www.otton.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Timing out a remote call
Brian Dunning wrote:
For one project, I'm required to access a web service for every page.
Basically it returns a little bit of random text. I have no control
over the web service, and there is no possibility of cacheing or
bringing it locally: the requirements are that it be accessed live
across the Internet every time.
Most times it's instantaneous, but sometimes it can hang. I want to
give it a half-second timeout, which we're allowed to do, but there's
no documentation provided. Here is how we call it now (really simple):
include('http://04planet.info/kfc/grab_one.php');
I have STFW and RTFM and could only find vague references like use
fsockopen instead or stream_set_timeout() but I can't find an
actual complete working example anywhere. Any pointers?
Generally, using include or file_get_contents() for a remote call is a
Bad Idea. Perhaps if you used curl instead? You have a lot more control
over the entire call that way. Of course, the curl code might be a bit
bulkier in PHP, but I find it works quite well.
As for fsockopen(), it works just like a file pointer.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
That manual page gives a pretty good description of how to use it.
Idea: The socket will by default be opened in blocking mode. You can
switch it to non-blocking mode by using stream_set_blocking().
The last parameter to fsockopen() is the timeout for connecting to the
socket, and the manual describes it as such:
Note: If you need to set a timeout for reading/writing data over the
socket, use stream_set_timeout(), as the timeout parameter to
fsockopen() only applies while connecting the socket.

Assign each user a unique id (session_id or a username) and record the time during each request. After there are no more requests for X minutes (your choice), then consider the session terminated. If you are using session, one possibility may be to use your own handler and write a garbage collection routine that records the age of the session file as it's cleaned up. You can consider the age of the session file as the time that the user was on your site. -- ---John Holmes...

From the user comments:
I think it might be useful to point out that set_time_limit() doesn't
have any effect on stream operations. A stalled script, either during
open operations (e.g. fsockopen()) or read operations (e.g. fgets()),
can make your script run forever.
So it would be advisable to define timeouts for opening sockets (with
the timeout parameter in fsockopen()) and for reading data from sockets
(with socket_set_timeout()).
So, yes, you would have had to go to:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php

Thanks for the reply,
Well hopefully this will help narrow down the issue. With Fsockopen a
timeout can be passed, however, this is using fopen. I am hoping there may
be some obscure way of setting a timeout but so far, I've not been able to
find one.
