PHP - Using Timeout

I have a site up where my client can enter some text in a box, and save it to a database.  But the page keeps timing out.  I can't get it to happen in Firefox or Chrome so it leads me to believe that its a setting in IE?

This is what I have tried:

set_time_limit(0) which i understand sets the time limit for the script to unlimitted.


ini_set("session.use_cookies", 1);
ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime", 0);

Turns cookies on, and makes them last forever.

session_set_cookie_params(3600);
Makes a cookies last for an hour.

I have tried all of these, and I have tried them in pieces.
[EDIT] I do places all before session_start

I have read that some of this can go into the php.ini file, but I cannot figure out exactly what I am supposed to add?

Our current php.ini is the default:

* CODE *******************************************************************************
register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off

expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

Where do I go from here?  What is my next step?

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, and thanks for the help!

I was wanting to make some kind of session timeout ability, just purely out of curiosity.

I have tried going off my own theory, before looking at any tutorials, well have looked a bit but tried getting the jist and having a go myself the next day (anyways that being said), this code he

Code: [Select]
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
session_name("jeremysmith_test_session");
session_start();

$_SESSION['start_time'] = time();

if($_SESSION['start_time'] < $_SESSION['start_time'] + 500) {
  printf("Time out be out dated!");
}
Just does not seem to want to work, is there any reason for this, that you could think of?

I appreciate any replies,
Jeremy.

Hi Im trying to keep a session open once a user logs in for a large amount of time ( months)

I have set the following in a .htaccess file

php_value session.cookie_lifetime 99999999
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 99999999

But i still lose the session and get logged out after 10 minutes or so i have created a phpinfo page and see that for these values the following is set

session.cookie_lifetime 99999999( local) 0 (global)
session.gc_maxlifetime 99999999 ( local) 1440 (global)

What is the difference between the local and global?

Any other ides why might session keeps timing out after 10 mins or so of inactivity?

Hi,

 

I have a heavy php page that is timing out at 30 seconds. I do not have access to change/set any ini or max_execution_time or the like. I need to find some creative workaround. First, I looked at async calls, but I'm using Yii 1.1 at the moment and it didn't look like simple to implement when I had a quick glance at that. Is it possible to load the content via ajax instead?

Ok i know the default session timeout is set to 25 minues if they are idle, but will it still timeout if the are on a constant refresh page, like if the page there on refreshes every minute will they time out after the 25 still.

I am using this code to check if a server is running. Everything is fine when it is running, but when it's not, it takes ages for the fsockopen to fail. Is there a way to make it timeout faster?
    
if (fsockopen($settings->survival_server, $settings->survival_port, $timeout = 0.1)){
        $survival['status'] = "Up";
    }else {
        $survival['status'] = "Down"
}

Okay, I'm not quite sure how to state this, so I'll try my best.

Is it possible to setup some kind of "after so long, it changes the state of something from 'fighting' to 'active'" query or function?

What is happening is that people are fighting in my game, then choosing to just close their browser rather than quit the fight, to change the monster's state back to 'active', so other people can fight it.

Does that make sense?

Any thoughts or could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I have created a script that connects to an FTP SERVER... downloads a movie file to the web server then uploads it to a target FTP server. If I move a small file of say 10mb it works well! But if I move a larger moviefile such as a 700mb file it doesn't... The only thing I can think is there is some sort of timeout... Any pointers would be a massive help!

I have tried to increase the FTP timeout and also enabled passive mode

Code: [Select]
ftp_set_option($conn2, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC, 600);
Code: [Select]
<?php

$movefile = "movie 2.avi";

$server1 = array(
"Name" =>"Downloads",
"Host" =>"10.0.1.3",
"User" =>"Paulio",
"Pass" =>"lol",
"Path" =>"/Download/Completed");

$server2 = array(
"Name" =>"files",
"Host" =>"10.0.1.2",
"User" =>"Paulio",
"Pass" =>"lol",
"Path" =>"/Television");


////////////////////////////////// Download file to be moved. //////////////////////////////////
// Connect to server
$conn1 = ftp_connect($server1['Host']);

// Open a session to an external ftp site
$login1 = ftp_login ($conn1, $server1['User'], $server1['Pass']);

ftp_pasv($conn1, true);

// Check open
if ((!$conn1) || (!$login1)) {
echo "Ftp-connect failed!"; die;
}
else {
echo "Connected to " . $server1['Name'] . " FTP server.<br><br>";
}

[b]ftp_set_option($conn1, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC, 600);[/b]

ftp_chdir($conn1, $server1["Path"]);  


// Moves file to be moved to web NAS drive.
ftp_get($conn1, $movefile, $movefile, FTP_BINARY);

////////////////////////////////// Upload file to be moved. //////////////////////////////////
// Connect to server
$conn2 = ftp_connect($server2['Host']);

// Open a session to an external ftp site
$login2 = ftp_login ($conn2, $server2['User'], $server2['Pass']);

ftp_pasv($conn2, true);

// Check open
if ((!$conn2) || (!$login2)) {
echo "Ftp-connect failed!"; die;
}
else {
echo "Connected to " . $server2['Name'] . " FTP server.<br><br>";
}

[b]ftp_set_option($conn2, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC, 600);[/b]

ftp_chdir($conn2, $server2["Path"]); 

// Uploads moved file from web NAS drive to destination
ftp_put($conn2, $movefile, $movefile, FTP_BINARY);    
    
//Deletes source file
ftp_delete($conn1, $movefile);

//Deletes temp file
unlink($movefile);

ftp_close($conn1);
ftp_close($conn2);

echo "Complete.";
?>

Thanks, Paul.

I'd asked some questions here n answer confirmed stuff n all come to the initial confusion   The problem seems started when I hit "refresh" (when codes changes I usually hit refresh) or there's no activities (means no check whether it's logged or not or do anything in site B) When it happens, it always prompted to login again...means the check is failing...on the 2nd case it may be caused by timeout setting, but I have no idea on why it's happening by simply refreshing...   Anyone has any idea on what to check in such situation ?     Thanks in advance,

I have 500 users using software I have developed, and 495 do not have a timeout problem.  Our default is to timeout after 60 minutes, but one particular office times out randomly and without warning.  The normal procedure is, like online banking, a pop up comes up to let them know they will be logged out in 60 seconds, or they can click continue to stay logged in.   The timer is based on JS, but on each page load a PHP function checks to see if they are timed out, and if they are, redirect them to the login page.  The JS pop up never occurs, so obviously the countdown hasn't happened, but when they click on a link, they are redirected to the login page.   Since the issue only occurs in one office, it leads me to believe it is a firewall or anti-virus issue, but I'm not sure...   Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Dear all,

Accoring to I created a soap API for sending SMS but timeout I found the server not reply.

so I would like to protect the timeout case like retry or something.

$requestmsg = array('msg'=>$msg);
/* SEND SOAP API */
$result = $client->SendSMS($requestmsg);

/* RESPONSE FROM SOAP API*/

 

Hi there, I am wondering if you guys can help me make it so my session times out after a previously set time. I have researched this and found no luck. Here is my code....

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
?>

Thanks in advance!

I have a page that you click to from your email to validate your account.  Whenever you click that link and it goes to this page, the server connection times out.

What is in this code that would make it timeout (it does not give an error, just says connecting...then times out)

session_start();
include "../incl/connectdb.php";
$key1 = $_GET['id'];
$key2= $_GET['id2'];
 
 

$query = "select * from users where passkey = '$key1' and pass2 = '$key2' and activation= 'pending' LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query ($query) or die (mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($result);
if (mysql_num_rows ($result) < 1){
$_SESSION['message'] = "Invalid link";
header ("Location: ../");
exit();
}

$query = "update table-name set activation= 'active' where id = '".$row['id']."' ";
mysql_query($query);
$_SESSION['message'] = "Account validated.";

As the title says, I have a .txt file with about 30,000+ lines of data presented in a pipe delimited list, which i'm parsing and inserting into my database.

Problem is, my server seems to always time out every time I try to parse the whole file at once. I'm sure naturally it would work with out any timeout errors, but i'm ensuring the data is xss clean before it's being inserted and i'm doing that on about 15 items on each line, which means i'm calling the xss clean function over 450,000 times in one execution.

So my friend suggested I break the files down maybe into each file having 5,000 lines of code, which would mean i'd generate about 6 files (if I had 30,000 lines of data).

I've managed to code a script that breaks the main file into several files.

Now what I want to do is pass each of those files to my parser method, but i'd like to do them one by one, rather than in one execution as I want to avoid the timeout error.

Any ideas?

Hi:

How do I set a password-protected page to time out after 20 minutes or so?

I thought it was doing it on the below page, but it is not working.

A tutorial I found online.

Login.php
Code: [Select]
<form name="form1" method="post" action="myLogin.php">

<input name="myUserName" type="text" size="40" id="myUserName">
<br /><br />
<input name="myPassword" type="password" size="40" id="myPassword">

</div>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login">

</form>

myLogin.php
Code: [Select]
<?php

ob_start();

// Connect to server and select database.
//mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
//mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// Define $myUserName and $myPassword
$myUserName=$_POST['myUserName'];
$myPassword=$_POST['myPassword'];



// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myUserName = stripslashes($myUserName);
$myPassword = stripslashes($myPassword);

$myUserName = mysql_real_escape_string($myUserName);
$myPassword = mysql_real_escape_string($myPassword);


$sql="SELECT * FROM myAdmins WHERE myUserName='$myUserName' and myPassword='$myPassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myUserName and $myPassword, table row must be 1 row

if($count==1){
// Register $myUserName, $myPassword and redirect to file "a_Home.php"
session_register("myUserName");
session_register("myPassword");

header("location:a_Home.php");
}
else {

echo "


<html>

...

</html>
";
}

ob_end_flush();
?>

myCheckLogin.php (added to each page to see if the person logged-in via Login.php):
Code: [Select]
<?
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myUserName)){
header("location:Login.php");
}
?>

Any help would be great.

Thanks.
