PHP Programming - browser waits forever on my script

browser waits forever on my script

Jim Michaels

As first I was getting "PHP Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream:
Permission denied in Unknown on line 0"
errors in my server log.

so I gave the file permissions.
now the browser sits there forever waiting for the server to respond. I
even tried bouncing the server. no joy.

the file is 700 lines long, so I decided not to post it here.

any clues as to what might be going on?

using PHP5.

You never have to run untested Code into productive Environments.
If its not productive install and use a debugger for locating the problem.

Otherwise u can only use manual debugging (print_r, var_dump, ...)
to clean the problems.

So you can only quest a magic glass ball or consult your rather clairvoyant.

try publishing a 10 line script which replicates the problem (although
by then you'll probably have worked it out for yourself).

in php.ini:
max_execution_time = 60 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in
seconds

it waits a whole lot longer than that. it won't ever stop. usually I
see a browser timeout after a certain number of seconds, but this has me
stumped. it would be nice to know what's going on under the hood.

is this apache which is having a problem? this is not on a production
server, just a test environment.

"failed to open stream", are you doing an fopen() or fsockopen() on a
remote url ?
If yes, the remote url being unavailable and timing out is likely to
be the issue.

Jim,

Much more likely is you have a loop in your script which doesn't exit.

this was correct. it was a header statement which refers to itself with
no proper conditions. problem solved. now onto other things.

I won't tell you how many times I've done similar things :-)
