I have had a php program that seems to work just fine for several weeks, and then, with no change to the code... will start returning load errors.
The program loads data from a few text and CSV files into an array, manipulates the data and then outputs files and puts data in a database.
This process can take a few minutes sometimes... but I have overcome the timeout issue by using a set_time_limit(0); command in the code.
When it works... it has no problems. The request is sent to the browser... it waits for the load patiently and evenutally returns results properly. But like i said, every few weeks it simply will not wait for the page to load... seems like the browser sends multiple requests to load in a matter of 8 or 9 seconds then gives up.
in Explorer I get the error message "the attemp to load 'accessing UR: {the page URL}', failed".
in mozella or netscape I get a "Document contains no data" error.
It seems that the problem only occurs when I am trying to run a process on the page where the files are being loaded and read into the array.
Could this be some kind of problem where the PHP parser is no able to load an include or a file and therefore fails before outputing to the page?
if so... why will it work fine sometimes but not other times?
any ideas anyone?
