PHP - Processing Large File
Hello,
Im trying to find a way to check around 500-600 links to check if they are alive. It works fine for 5-6 links but once i add more links it just times out. Is there a way i could process this so it does 1 link at a time or somthing ? <?php include("config.php"); $query = "SELECT * FROM `games` WHERE `r_fileserve` <> \"\" LIMIT 500"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $link_str = file_get_contents("$row[r_fileserve]"); $pattern = '<input type="hidden" name="download" value="normal"/>'; preg_match($pattern,$link_str,$match); if ($match[0] != null) { echo "Working <br />"; } else { echo "File Down <br />"; } } ?> Similar TutorialsI need to process a large CSV file (40 MB - 300,000 rows). While I have been working with smaller files my existing code is not able to work with large files. All I need to do is - read a particular column from file and then count total number of rows and add all the values from column. My exisitng piece of code imports whole CSV file into an array (a class is used) and then using 'ForEach' loop, reads the required column and values into another array. Once the data is in this array i can simply sum or count it. While this served me well for smaller files, i am not able to use this approach to read a larger php file. I have already increased the memory allocated to php and max_execution_time but the script just keeps on running I am no php expert but usualy get around with trial and error.......your thoughts and help will be greatly appreciated Exisiting code: Once data has been processed by initial class (Class used is freely available and known as 'parsecsv', available at http://code.google.com/p/parsecsv-for-php/) After calling the class and processing the csv file: ?php ini_set('max_execution_time', 3000); $init = array(0); //Initialize a dummy array, which hold value '0' foreach ($csv->data as $key => $col): //Get value from array, 'Data' is an array processed by class and holds csv data $ColValue = $col[SALARY']; //retrieves the column you want { $SAL= $col['SALARY']; //Column that you want to process from csv array_push ($init, $SAL); // Push value into dummy array created above echo "<pre>"; } endforeach; $total_rows = (Count($init) -1); //Count total number of value, '-1' to remove the first initilaized value in array echo "Total # of rows: ". $total_rows . "\n"; echo "Total Sum: ". array_sum($init) . "\n"; ?> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have 2 scripts that take a while to process... The first takes a few minutes, the second takes over an hour... The first script completed successfully, but the second script seems like it just stops most of the way through the script... I have this set on both files: set_time_limit(0); ini_set('memory_limit', -1); I NEED to disable ALL time limits and all of that, does ANYONE have any clue as to why my second script is failing? It is NOT the programming, I know that for sure... But the script just stops executing, and I think it is because it times out... But after setting those 2 options, I don't see why it times out.. Also for reference, I am NOT using any database... I am simply downloading files from an FTP server to my server... Any help would be appreciated, I have been searching for the last few days on an answer. Rob Having some issues getting this to work properly...

Any general advice would be great Thanks OM Hi can someone assist me with adding a second upload that grabs all files from within a directory. 1. user select .csv file (coding down for that) 2. user select folder with .docx files in side (this folder will only have docx files) 3. on submit .csv and all .docx files are upload to /temp_docx/ folder 4. the .csv has a matching docx_id that relates to the .docx file name (ex file 1.docx == docx_id = 1 in the csv file) so every time an insert is done a move_file happens and 1.docx would be moved to /docx_files/ 5. and if there is ever an error or no match at the end output all errors. I think the part where i'm stuck and confused the most is handling the second upload where all docx files in the folder are upload and looped through moving and inserting Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $filename = file_get_contents($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']); $handle = fopen("$filename", "r"); while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 100000, ",")) !== FALSE) { $import="INSERT into kmmb_member1(docx_id,no_ahli,no_pin,nama,no_ic_baru,no_ic_lama) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]','$data[5]')"; mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error()); } fclose($handle); print "Import done"; } else { print "<form action='import.php' method='post'>"; print "Type file name to import:<br />"; print "Select csv file: <input name='uploadedfile' type='file' /><br />"; print "<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit' /></form>"; } ?> Hi guys, I am currently receiving a large text file ( > 500mb), once per week which I have been manually splitting then processing to obtain the required CSV files. However, this is taking in the region of 2 to 3 hours. Very soon, these files will be sent daily and I really dont have the time to split and process this everyday I have been playing for a while to try and parse everything properly/automatically with fopen, feof and fgets ( and other 'f' options), but the script never seems to read the file all the way to the end - I assume this is due to memory usage. The data received in the file follows a strict pattern throughout the file which is: Code: [Select] BSNY990141112271112270100000 POO2C35 122354000 DMUS 075 O BX NTY LOLANCSTR 1132 11322 TB LIMORCMSJ 1135 00000000 LICRNFNJN 1140 00000000 H LICRNF 1141H1142H 11421142 T LISDAL 1147H1148H 11481148 T LIARNSIDE 1152H1153 11531153 T LIGOVS 1158 1159 11581159 T LIKTBK 1202 1202H 12021202 T LICARK 1206 1207 12061207 T LIULVRSTN 1214H1215H 12151215 T LIDALTON 1223 1223H 12231223 T LIDALTONJ 1225 00000000 LIROOSE 1229 1229H 12291229 T 2 LTBAROW 1237 12391 TF That is just one record of informaton (1 of around 140,000 records), each record has no fixed amount of lines but each line in each record is fixed to 80 characters and all lines in each record need to have the same unique 'id', at present, Im using an md5 hash of microtime. The first line of every record starts with 'BS' and the last line of each record starts with 'LT' terminating with 'TF'. All the other stuff between also follows a certain pattern of which I can break down effectively.

Many thanks Dave I have a PHP file that does some data processing work in the database and I run in from a web browser each weekend. The PHP file usually completes the job in 4 hours, but past 2 weekends, it failed to complete. Then, i need to reexecute the file. Why? And how to fix this? When I try to upload a file larger than the server's max limit, the following code is not executed. How am I supposed to inform the user that their file is too large?

Sadly my meagre knowledge of php is letting me down a bit. It's a case of knowing what you want the script to do but not having the knowlege of how to 'say it'. So i was hoping that if I posted my code here someone could either give me a few pointers on where i am going wrong or suggest a better way. The text file data luckily has a recurring format as follows (for brevity i've only included one entry, which contains made up information): From: bella_done@yahoo.co.uk Sent: 02 February 2011 22:50 To: Jonny tum, patsy fells, dingly bongo Subject: Subject: Fun Run 2010 Categories: Fun Run Name: Bella Donna Address: 14 brondle avenue Postcode: cd83 1rg Phone: 0287343510 Email: bella_don@yahoo.co.uk DOB: 15/11/1945 Half or Full: Full fun run How did you hear: Took part in 2010 As you can see the data has a convenient boundary at the 'from' field and the colon (or so it occurred to me) so I created my script as follows: // the string being analysed $the_string = " From: bella_done@yahoo.co.uk Sent: 02 February 2011 22:50 To: Jonny tum, patsy fells, dingly bongo Subject: Subject: Fun Run 2010 Categories: Fun Run Name: Bella Donna Address: 14 brondle avenue Postcode: cd83 1rg Phone: 0287343510 Email: bella_don@yahoo.co.uk DOB: 15/11/1945 Half or Full: Full fun run How did you hear: Took part in 2010"; // remove all formatting to work with a clean string $clean_string = strip_tags($the_string); // remove form field entries from the data and replace with commas and a ZZZ boundary $remove_fields = array("Categories:" => "","Name:" => ",","Address:" => ",","Postcode:" => ",","Phone:" => ",","Email:" => ",","DOB:" => ",","Half or Full:" => ",","How did you hear:" => ",","From:" => "ZZZ","Sent:" => ",","To:" => ",", ); $new_string = strtr("$clean_string",$remove_fields); // split the data at the boundary ZZZ $string_to_array = explode("ZZZ", $new_string); $new_string2 = implode("</br>",$string_to_array); echo $new_string2; $myFile = "address_list.csv"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = $new_string2; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); One major problem is when i write the new data to a csv file the csv contains spacings that cause it to be reproduced in a column form rather than as separate fields for each comma boundary. So can anyone suggest either a) a better way of extracting the data from the text file (doesn't need to be 100% clean and perfect) b) How can i stop the spaces in the csv (i thought i would have fixed this when i stripped the tags from the string at the start??). Any help would be greatly received by a newbie phper. It's my first shot at performing anything moderately taxing so if I've made some blaring oversites I would very much welcome your wisdom! Thank you Drongo Going to try and explain this the best I can but I don't really have the best idea on what's happening here. I have a submission form for users to fill out their information and upload an image. I've set the file limit size at 500000 which I assumed would be safe for images at 400k or below. When testing locally, any image that is below that file size gets uploaded successfully. However, when testing on my online host/server.. the submission form and data is successfully entered but the image isn't saved at all. It obviously isn't over the size of the file limit I set because it dooesn't return an error.. it successfuly submits but doesn't save or resize my image. I really have no clue what the problem could be. I went over the variables I set for folder locations to move the image to and everything works fine locally, but once on the host and online, it doesn't happen. Hi I'm currently writing a script that basically downloads videos from a specific page. I am downloading with cURL however with some files, they're so large cURL is timing out. This is causing either a) PHP to timeout b) PHP memory to run out c) cURL to stop once defined timeout limit is reached This means that some files are only partitially downloaded as some files are over 100mb and some are only 20mb I have Code: [Select] set_time_limit(0);and Code: [Select] ini_set("memory_limit","500M");set but is there a way to make it so PHP will not timeout and the cURL session will not timeout until the file is downloaded? Hello. My script is set to upload files upto 5GB large. For that script I've currently set memory_limit to 5GB. Is it alright? I mean what is the ideal value (for large upload scripts) If you feel, 5GB is large. I can make script to upload 2GB files and set memory_limit accordingly. Also, max_execution_time has been set by me to 86400 currently. Assuming, on a 500Kbps broadband, it would require upto 24 hours to upload a 3-5GB file. Please suggest. Thank you.

The problem is that the original script uses file_get_contents and SimpleXMLElement to get it done, but the corn job executed by the server halts due to the volume of the XML file. I'm no PHP expert, so I bought this XMLSplit software and divided the XML into 17 separated XML files each at size of 30 MB, parsed them one by one using the same script. However, the output database was missing a lot of input, and I have serious doubts whether this would be the same output of the original file if left not divided automatically and parsed one by one.
So, I've decided to use XMLReader with this exact PHP script to parse this big XML file, but so far I couldn't manage to simply replace the parsing code and keep other functionality intact.
I'm including the script below, I'd really appreciate if someone helps me to do so.

Hi guys, I did read allot of documentation on the internet about reading/writing/parsing an XML file. I ended up using the following code, because I really have large files (some about 200MB) and regular dom does not work: while ($xml->read()) { switch ($xml->nodeType) { case (XMLReader::ELEMENT): if ($xml->localName == "job") { $node = $xml->expand(); $dom = new DomDocument(); $n = $dom->importNode($node,true); $dom->appendChild($n); $job = simplexml_import_dom($n); The problem I have is a special character error in the xml file, error returned on this line: "$node = $xml->expand();" I am literally banging my head to the wall to find a simple solution to this. I already have a cleaning function, but that can be applied only after the code above. As the file is large, to clean it, I would have to use the same code above to work on partial content at once, so I would have the same special character problem when I would try to read and split the file. I bet I am not the first one to be in this situation, but after about 5 hours of searching on the internet, I cannot do it no more. And I am not a php expert to come up with a new idea. One other thing to do probably would be to split the file into multiple files, and read them after that, without using the XMLReader. But this would ask for a different application. If, for example, on a file where I have an error, I do the reading with simplexml, without using the XMLReader, I don't get the error. But I cannot use simplexml on the files, since file size is variable. I have to use a reliable method that works for all situations. Hopefully someone has an idea to this STUPID situation! Thanks. Hey guys, I'm a total newbie here, and just about as a new to php. My issue: I have a very large .html file that contain multiple articles (I actually have a few of these, but we'll start with one for practicality). The article titles are all wrapped in <h2> tags, there are 10 articles in one file. The articles are very simple, just a title wrapped with <h2> and then a few paragraphs wrapped in <p> tags. What I want to know how to do: I want to know if there's a way to open that file, and have each article saved as it's own .html or .txt document (the title & following paragraphs of each article). Ultimately taking my 1 large file, and creating the subsequent 10 smaller files from the articles inside of it. I am having trouble explaining this in text so I'll try to illustrate: I have "Articles.html" - which contains (article1,article2,article3.. ..article10) I want to split "Articles.html" and create "Article1.html", "Article2.html", "Article3.html", etc. Is that possible? Or am I looking at something far more complex than I can imagine at this point - perhaps something I'd be better off doing by hand? Ultimately I intend to stick all these articles into a database, but that's the 2nd part of what I want to do (and I think will be the easier of the tasks). Let me know if you need any additional information in the event my description above is unclear... I simply am having issues figuring out how to separate out the text into individual articles. Can you take a look at this page? It uses php code that I have been creating. I need it to accept the form even if checkboxes are left empty. Currently it comes up with an error. http://www.pilotrock.com/color_contact/ Here is the PHP code: <?php if(isset($_POST['Email_Address'])) { include 'lite_settings.php'; function died($error) { echo "Sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted.

The questions are in true/false format, multiple choice and fill in the blank(text). At the moment, I am only trying to get the true and false questions to work. My code is as follows Code: [Select] <?php $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","root") or die("couldn't connect"); $select = mysql_select_db("login") or die ("cannot select database!"); $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM questions"); $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query); if ($numrows!=0) { //code to login while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { $dbquestion = $row['question']; $dbanswer = $row['answer']; $dbtype = $row['type']; $dbid = $row['id']; $correctanswer = explode('|',"$dbanswer"); switch($dbtype){ case "mchoice": echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>"; break; case "boolean": echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>"; echo $correctanswer[0]; //display radio buttons ?> <form name="boolean" method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>"> True <input name="question" type="radio" value= "True" /> False <input name="question" type="radio" value= "False" /> <input name="id" input type="hidden" value="<?php $dbid ?>" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> <?php echo "The answer submitted was "; echo $_POST['question']; ?> <?php break; case "text": echo"<br/>"; echo $dbquestion; echo"<br/>"; //display text box break; } } } ?> The problem I'm having is that this creates a submit button for each question. When choosing true or false for the answer and pressing submit, the answer is selected for every question. I need the code to look at what the user has entered, check the answer against correctanswer[0]. I'm really in a bit of a hole here and if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance James |
