I'm reading in a 66MB file into php so I can parse it and load it into a
database. However, it is taking a long time for php to read the file. So long
that the script times out. I know about the ini_set("max_execution_time", 120)
or whatever length I want to set the time out for the script, but my question
is as follows.
Is it possible to read in a file and at the same time echo out a status of how
far along the file has been read?
The code I have right now is below. Just wondering if what I'm trying to do is
possible and how to do it.
// set script timeout
ini_set("max_execution_time", 120);
// import file name
$log_file_name = "access_log.1";
echo "Reading access log!<br/>";
if (!$ac_arr = file("./$log_file_name")) {
echo "Couldn't load access log!";
die;
}
Thanks!
