Timeout of http request

[hakim]

Hi NG,

I have my own apache server 2.0.54 running with php 4.3.10.

I got a little logical problem here about http requests.

I have written a small php script which waits for x seconds. Every
second it appends the seconds to a file.

I expected a timeout after 300 seconds, becouse apache is configured
like that. But until now it doesn't matter. I can wait for more than 5
minutes and the script finishes i see the result page.

Why my browser doesn't get a timeout. Which part is responsible for a
timeout???

Here the code:

<?php

// All print functions do not show up on the screen until it is
finished
print 'Now we wait<br>';

for($i = 1; $i <= 360; ++$i) {
sleep(1);
print "$i<br>";
$handle = fopen('test.dat', "a");
fwrite($handle, $i . "\n");
fclose($handle);
}

print '<br><br>End...<br>';

?>
Thanks...

Hi,

PHP has its own timeout.
It is defined in php.ini

The option you need is max-execution-time.

http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.inf...execution-time

You can overrule this setting on most systems in your script with:
ini_set("max-execution-time" , 600);
for 600 seconds.

Good luck

Hi,

max-execution-time is set to 30 seconds in php.ini, but my script runs
much longer than that. So where can I configure my apache/php to stop
such scripts like mine???

Thanks...

Hi hakim,

That is very strange.
As far as I know, the max executiontime is always working.
:-/

I am out of ideas.
You might try an apache newsgroup.

Good luck.
