my browser times out..

[Joe826]

Hi,

I wrote a script that is does alot of operations, and thus, it runs for a long time. The problem is, before the script can actually get done, my browser times out. Is there anyway that I can assure a 'connection' is made so that the browser will never time out?

Thanks,
Joe

I can't imagine any copde that would take so long to compute that your browser would time out... also i dont think a browser times out as long as there still is a connection.

I think the problem is more likely with your code..endless loop or something of that sort... Care to show some code?

I have never tried it...But i rember seeing someone post that this doesn't happen when they used pconnect instead of connect?

How is the report output? If you are willing to PDF you can save it to a file or e-mail it to the requestor once it has been generated.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies, sorry about my late reply 🙂. Yeah, basically it's a script to verify link backs. That is, verify that your linking partners are actually linking to you. I was testing it with a very large amount of links, like 10k. All the script does is grab a URL from a file and then fopen it, then it fgets the entire page and looks for the specified URL in the output. It's a big loop that takes forever, and no matter what I do the php file will give no output to the screen before it starts scanning, or when it finds a site that no longer links back, it doesn't print the output until the very very end when all the checks are done, even though I specify in the loop that it's to print it out when it finds it. Kind of weird. The only way i've gotten it to work is to wget it with a big timeout set. Any ideas on this? If it's not completely clear I can post code 🙂.

Thanks,
Joe
