[jQuery] Re: JQuery and AJAX Heartbeat question
Thanks for your tips brian and scott. set_time_limit(0); The expected value is integer seconds. A value of 0 disables the time limit altogether. If i try set_time_limit(20); it gives me an 500 error after 20 seconds, but if i set the value to 60 seconds, i still get a server time out after 30 seconds. I have seen upload scripts with some kind of callback to the server to avoid a time out. There must be something i can do right? Thnx again.

If you're in control of the php.ini file, there is almost certainly a setting in there you can use. But I doubt this is something overridable in individual scripts. I have seen upload scripts with some kind of callback to the server to avoid a time out. Yes, but uploads are handled differently than these scripts. I'm pretty sure your PHP script is not called until the entire HTTP request is received. Callbacks are probably built with something watching for the upload to a file to be completed, although that's a complete guess. There must be something i can do right? Well you, of course. If you can update the php.ini, I'm sure you can fix this. But that would mean that your server might hang, for say ten minutes on other requests that are not processing, just stuck. I think the solution I suggested before would not be terribly difficult to work out. Good luck, -- Scott
Re: [jQuery] Re: JQuery and AJAX Heartbeat question
Whoops. I guess this bit of info from the manual is pertinent: Warning This function has no effect when PHP is running in safe mode. There is no workaround other than turning off safe mode or changing the time limit in the php.ini.

This requires more than 30 seconds so my server give me an server error 500 time-out. Can i avoid this 500 error with JQuery and AJAX heartbeat? Probably not. AJAX is just going to give you additional HTTP requests, and won't change what's happening on the server for the initial request. One possibility would be to have your script start a process that will do the zipping and then use AJAX to poll from the client to see if the zipping is complete. Once it's finished, you can download it or do whatever else you need. The process you start would probably have to be a bit more complicated than just zip. You might want to start something that zips to a temporary file and when that's complete renames it to the file name you'll be polling for. Otherwise, PHP might tell you that the file is ready even though its still being built. Good luck, -- Scott
