I'm trying to run 5 php scripts that all run about ~200 MySQL commands each. The basic framwork is:

1.) Fetch a list of names from a table
2.) Names are put in an array, Loop starts
3.) For each name that is retrieved, it is matched with a name on a website (Echo for each name retrieved for logging purposes)
4.) the information retrieved from the website is stored in the table (using UPDATE)
5.) repeated for each name, until the end of the list is reached.

And it works, but seldom. When I run these in a web browser, some of the scripts that fetch a larger list of names from the table times out, whereas the shorter lists will succeed in a full update.

I've also tried setting these up as a Cron job (I'm using Hosting24 as my host), but the output is no better. The log shows that it runs about 8-9 names before stopping. No error, no nothing. Just end of log.

I've tried using  set_time_limit(); and have set it to 0 for unlimited, and even tried setting it really high (anywhere between 100 and 900 seconds), but to no avail.

Is there anything else I can do?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a script which changes on curtain times, heres a example:

3pm - Dance Session
4pm - Indie Session
5pm - RnB Session

What i want the desired outcome to be is

Display current time with whats playing (say its 3pm)

3pm - Dance Session

Then at 4 i want it to remove the 3pm and display the 4pm - Indie Session

Is it possible? If so how?

Many thanks for you time guys!

#1 my function to find out if my store is closed
function determineTime() {
$hour = date("H");
 if (($hour < '09' || $hour >= '21')) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
} 
} 

#2 my case switch to find out if the "trip" departs in less then <24 hours or <48 hours etc.....

$myDiff = dateDiff(date("m/d/Y H:i:s"), "$dep_date 05:00:00"); 
list($myHour, $myMinute) = split(',', $myDiff);
//echo $myHour.'<br/>';
//echo $myMinute;

if(!isset($myHour)) $myHour = 0;

$nowTime = date("H:i:s");
$futureTime = date("H:i:s", strtotime("$nowTime + 2 hours"));
//echo '<h1>*'.$nowTime.'*</h1>';
//echo '<h1>*'.$futureTime.'*</h1>';

//$departures = $db->query("$dep_query $dep_where $dep_order"); // NO TIME RESTRICTIONS
switch($myHour){
default:
case "":
break;

case ($myHour <= 24):
$_SESSION['addToTotal'] = $passengers*5;

if(determineTime()){ //we are closed
//if the store is closed and it is TODAY do not allow the users to book a trip before 9am
$departures = $db->query("$dep_query $dep_where AND trips.times > '09:00:00' $dep_order"); //run query

}else{ //we are open
//if open allow the user to book, but only for trips that are for 2 HOURS out and GREATER
$departures = $db->query("$dep_query $dep_where AND (trips.times > '$futureTime' OR trips.times > '09:00:00') $dep_order"); //run query
}

break;

case ($myHour > 24 && $myHour < 48):
$_SESSION['addToTotal'] = $passengers*5;
$departures = $db->query("$dep_query $dep_where $dep_order"); //run query
break;

}


All my times are in    H:i:s   format.
Somewhere for some reason that when we are closed users can still book trips that are for 5am.

Can someone propose a solution to resolve the following:

I have a PHP script that runs just fine when processing small amounts of data (opening and reading CSV file and performing afew validation checks before saving to db).

Issue: when attempting to process a large file, I have found the execution time exceeds the "timeout" value currently set on the server which is 60 seconds.
Note: I do not want to increase this time interval as that's a security risk so need to figure out a way to break up the data - being read from the CSV file - into chunks and some way create mini-processes (I guess) to execute chunks of that data at a time until the entire file is read.

Any suggestions?

For a while now I've been getting intermittent problems with PHP either slowing down or very occasionally timing out for no apparent reason. For the first time it's happened a number of times today and there is an error message in the logs:

PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in functions.php on line 4, referer:search.php

The odd thing is that line 4 of functions.php only contains: $sess = session_id();

I've never had a problem with PHP that digging around in this forum hasn't solved but this one has me stumped.

Anyone got any ideas?

TIA

Folks,

I am running Linux Commands in PHP.

I am looping through the Domain list and using the below line in my Script:



exec('cp -r '.$source.' '.$destination);



I am using this in a Foreach Statment, so only the last Even in the loop getting executed, because, the loop is running too fast so the Linux command does not even get initiated, only the last even in loop goes through.

What i have done is, i have added a line after exec();

sleep(30);

This gives enough time for Linux command to get executed, but is it efficient way to handle timing liek this?

Do i need to use time_limit() or something like that?

Cheers
Natasha

I have a quick question about a script I wrote that searches all .jpg images in a directory (and it's sub-directories) and makes thumbnails of them. The problem I am having is that I am getting an internal server error after about 15 seconds. I have included my script, the class it requires, and my php.ini file that resides in the root of my site. I have searched for a couple of hours online and haven't been able to come up with an answer as to why I am getting that error.

The thumbnail file...
Code: [Select]
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
require_once('classes/Create_Thumbnail.php');

$filter = '.jpg';
$directory = 'media'; // Do not include a trailing slash
$it = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator("$directory");
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($it) as $file) {
if (!((strpos(strtolower($file), $filter)) === false) || empty($filter)) {
$items[] = preg_replace("#\\\#", "/", $file);
}
}
foreach ($items as $item) {
$photo = new Create_Thumbnail($item);
$photo->createThumbnail();
}
?>

I am trying to set up a Cron Job. When I run it says that it is inserted. However when I enter my database nothing is in there.

Does each part column of a cron job need to be correct for it all to work? For example if I have the code for column corrrect but one wrong will it now work at all?

I am a bit lost as to why it says inserted but nothing actually goes into my database.

I can manually enter information into the database I can echo it. But I cant Cron Job it in there.
