Help! Sometimes half page HTML is generated from PHP

3dron

My PHP is not as long as some pages I've seen. I am calling on 5 or 6 mySQL tables.

Sometimes when someone calls up my php page only about half the html is spit back out for the webpage. Because I use tables the page is especially jumbled.

How can I ensure that all the php will be executed and a full htmnl page i returned?

Thanks

error check
code check

have you got any comments?

pretty much it's a case of checking your code to ensure no extra tags are there, display the page that is not working and view source and go through that, it should give you an indication of where the problem is.

is the problem caused by people posting code that contains html entities and this is stuffing up your code? if so use a function to get rid of them or to check whether they are complete

just think if someone puts </td> in their post, what is going to happen to your nice table?

When I check the source I only have half the html, it just gets cut off. It's not a full page of html with repeated or bad tags.

How can I stop this? It's like the php is spitting out the html and sometimes only 50% gets spit out.

Help!

The initial setting for php is 30 seconds to parse/create a page. If it takes longer, then php stops (you can set this in the php.ini file or possibly with ini_set())

If your script takes longer than 30 seconds to parse/create, I agree with Pontaloo that you need to find out why. Just calling 5 tables probly isn't the reason, but if your db is running slow that might cause it.

I'm running apache, mysql, and loading a labor-intensive shopping cart locally on a 366mhz laptop....I had to do the same thing to the php.ini file. I changed the max load time to 180 seconds....but I still have to find the problem of why it takes so long.
