I use recursive readdir as the engine for
a numerous file processing routines, including
generating thumbnails, using getimagesize
imagecreatetrue color and imagejpeg, etc.
where each resize operation involves instantiating
a new resizer class instance.
.....but my (shared host) website is large, so I
run past max_execution_t ime if I try to make
all thumbnails at once, from the top of
my document_root. My virtual file system
includes a php.ini which I can edit, but
bumping max_execution-time (although the file saves)
seems to have no effect, and I do not have
permission to run /usr/sbin/apachectl restart
Perhaps the php.ini change
will start to work the next time the server reboots.
In the mean time, is there some way to fork a new process,
for instantiating the resizer?
I could try to use exec to run command line
php. But there must be a more elegant way
to do this. I'd use perl and imagemagick,
but my shared host server doesn't have the
right perl libs installed, and that's another
can of worms.

why not just generate the thumbnails for the current directory, then
provide navigational links to the sub-directories. I just started on
a photo album system that works in that exact way. http://code.google.com/p/zippyphotos/.
Check it out maybe we can work out some requirements together

you could obtain a list of the jobs (or folders) to be processed, put
it in a session, then use an iframe within a main page.
the main page loads the iframe and a javascript function which can
refresh the iframe.
the iframe finishes calls processjob.php which completes job1
job1 is removed from the array
the php script outputs <script>parent. refreshIframe() </scriptto the
iframe
the iframe reloads and starts the next job
this is of course a single thread approach, if you want to emulate
more threads, use more iframes where the "parent iframe refresher" now
takes the argument iframename.
don't use too many or you will probably hit other hard limits of
average CPU usage within a certain time, or just RAM.

I like that idea. I'll try it.
The best idea would be to get a co-located machine,
or a virtual one, so I control server. In the
meantime that sounds like a workable hack. Thank you.

i like circumventing the resitrictions placed on a shared host, it's
cheaper!
although the above approach is jobs of unit size "folder"
you could have a more fine grained approach where you list every job,
using a database, the iframes would be included in each webapge
provided there are jobs to do, the visitors then start a job if there
are any. Provided you have low volume usage / record the last job
start time in the db, this would be a great "cron" emulator which
might be something else your shared service doesnt allow access to.

Not sure about this. I use a home-rolled cms that reads a
source directory structure, looking for images, image captions,
html fragments, link references, etc, and then initializes
a schema. Then I write out the whole website as static html.
That way I can manage hundreds of sources and pages.
Pages that *have* to be dynamic remain that way. But most
of the site ends up as static html.
.....so this is an admin functionality for me only, not something
I want to let users invoke in anyway. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

We know that a c function never returns more than one value.
Then how come the fork() function returns two values? How it is
implemented?

Hi I want to have a wait page while the rest of the cgi does its

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
