Hello.
I am currently working on a script that parses a given http adress by
looking for anchor tags, background images and so on - a crawler if
you like. The downloaded content is temporarily stored on the server
(Mac OS X Server 10.4.9 with PHP 5) and, when the script is done, the
content is packed into a ZIP archive. It seems that I am having
trouble with my Apache timeout setting. Because the script downloads
between 250 and 300MB of html, pdf, css files and so on, it is
terminated automatically after the specified timeout setting
(currently 1200 seconds). Setting max execution time to -1 in the
script has no effect (which has been noticed previously on the
php.net manual page).
Is there any other way (with PHP) to come around this problem besides
setting the time-out in the Apache config to more than 1200 seconds?
The Apache manual says that the time out value can only be changed
within the core configuration scope. My initial idea was to set the
value in a .htaccess file which unfortunately is not allowed. I might
also add that the script is already optimized for speed so to say.
Hope you get what I mean.
