I recently picked up an issue when I upgraded my IDE, where the browser window timed out while I was debugging the code. I checked with support and was told the problem was with php 4.4.8 which they'd upgraded to, so to confirm I installed 4.4.8 and ran a test - and it seems there is a problem with 4.4.8. The test was: change max_execution_time from 30 to 600 in php.ini - phpinfo confirms max_execution_time=600 <?php $t=70; echo "<h2>Test timeout - sleep for $t seconds</h2>"; echo "sleeping ".date('h:i:s')."<br />"; sleep($t); echo "stop sleeping ".date('h:i:s'); ?> $t=59 works fine, but $t=70 times out. (Windows 2000, Apache Release 10324100) I ran the same test successfully with $t=500 seconds on a different machine running php 4.3.4, everything else the same as the original test pc. What bothers me a bit is 4.4.8 has been available since February and checking the archives I see no-one else has reported this problem, which seems highly unlikely, so I'm wondering if this is specific only to my environment somehow. Has anyone else had problems with max_execution_time in 4.4.8? Cheers Arno -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
