Hi NG, I have my own apache server 2.0.54 running with php 4.3.10. I got a little logical problem here about http requests. I have written a small php script which waits for x seconds. Every second it appends the seconds to a file. I expected a timeout after 300 seconds, becouse apache is configured like that. But until now it doesn't matter. I can wait for more than 5 minutes and the script finishes i see the result page. Why my browser doesn't get a timeout. Which part is responsible for a timeout??? On the comp.lang.php group they gave up. One said that it is configurable over the directive max-execution-time in php.ini. BUT this one is set to 30 seconds. The timeout directive in httpd.conf is 300 seconds. Here the code: <?php // All print functions do not show up on the screen until it is finished print 'Now we wait<br>'; for($i = 1; $i <= 360; ++$i) { sleep(1); print "$i<br>"; $handle = fopen('test.dat', "a"); fwrite($handle, $i . "\n"); fclose($handle); } print '<br><br>End...<br>'; ?> Thanks... --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
