Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #8414: set_time_out() and max_execution_time description is not clear

I believe sleep() causes the execution timer to sleep as well. From the man page: sleep() makes the current process sleep until 'seconds' seconds have elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored. Try: <? set_time_limit (2); sleep (25); print "not printed"; ?> program ends after 25 seconds with an error that 2 seconds limit exceeded.

documentation is not clear enough on what "excecution time" the max_execution_parameter does limit. try the following: <?php set_time_limit(1); while(1) sleep(1); ?> on my machine that runs much more then one second, while: <?php set_time_limit(1); while(1); ?> stops after 1 second as expected. That difference is never mentioned in documentaion. While the usage of PROF timer make sence sometimes the parameter name "max_execution_time" suggests the "real" time limit so that <?php set_time_limit(30); sleep(3600); ?> should be terminated on timeout after 30 seconds. oleg -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8414&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
