Yet another update.
Strange thing happened. I fixed the problem... It's not a clean
solution, it's not the right solution, but for now, it'll (have to)
do :-)
I changed my little test-script to include directives like
max_input_time, set_time_limit(0) etc. Than I thought, why not try
to generate some output when copying files!??! So I did... and you
know what, all of a sudden I'm seeing my response page every single
time I call my script :-D
So our quick-n-dirty-but-we-know-its-wrong-solution is gonna be to
have the script generate some output (a single space) for each file
it has copied (i.e. print(" ")).
After testing it with the problem-app, we feel confident this is a
viable, temporary, solution. At least untill we complete our PHP5
rewrite of the Photofresher :-)
I would like to thank all of you for your time, patience and advice.
If anyone has any ideas on why this is working, feel free to let me
know :-)
Wild guess is the browser is receiving *something* before it times out?
It doesn't seem like the browser is actually timing out.
I've only been following this off and on so slap me if I say something
stupid, but as I understand it the script you're having problems with
creates a 'gallery/page/something' for photogs by copying a lot of
files around?
MMYes... kind of like that. The photos are copied from the working-dir
to the online dir, some XML-files are generated which are then read by a
Flash-film, which is responsible for loading and displaying the photos.
Why are you just outputting a space then? Why not output something
useful to the person sitting and staring at their screen, like "Image
so-and-so processed...<br />\n" so they have a clue as to what's going
on behind the scenes and an idea of how long it's going to take to
finish? Just a thought.
I'm only using the print(" "); because all other output is being
accumulated in a string-variable $result. At the end of the request,
that variable is put into $_REQUEST and read by the result-page, which
displays the content $result.
I'm not sure why the original developers of the did it like this, and do
agree with you that it would make more sense to show some kind of
progress output.
But we are re-writing the app for php5, and there will be some major
changes, so maybe this will be one of them :-)
