Bug #14529 Updated: script doesn't always finish output

ID: 14529 User updated by: jay1@swift-web.com Old Summary: script doesn't always finish output Reported By: jay1@swift-web.com Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Linux RH 7.2 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: found some new things that may help. On the pages that didn't finish loading I discovered my PHP generated code missed a end </font> tag. So I added it in and it displays the entire page now (weird that PHP4.0.6 didn't have this problem). BUT the problem of it crashing IE6.0 still happens in PHP4.1.1. It is as if there is header information that isn't being sent properly. When I use a linux box rather than crashing it pops up an error window saying Error, connection to server was dropped. The way to duplicate this is simply go to a page that loaded fine a minute ago and click refresh (and 1/3 will crash). I've tried this on smaller scripts and it doesn't crash but it does on this larger program which uses many different functions of PHP so I'm wondering if a function that is used is what causes the problem. Any ideas of how I can narrow the test down to find what exactly causes the conflict (maybe a combination of functions)? The script varies depending on the pages function (many includes) and can be as many as 5000 lines long in some places. It runs perfectly smooth in PHP4.0.1 -> PHP4.0.6 but not in PHP4.1.0 or newer. I'll try todays latest snap again (previous one didn't work either).

If you find any new problem in snapshots, please submit bug report for it :) BTW, output control code differs in 4.2.0, so this problem may be fixed in 4.2.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-10 01:05:52] jay1@swift-web.com http://snaps.php.net seems to be down now (get message saying host doesn't exist) so I'll have to try it another day ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-10 00:56:41] jay1@swift-web.com I tried the latest snapshot a few weeks ago and after some difficulty getting it to run this script (as I discovered it won't let me connect to mysql using localhost) it crashed my IE when I tried loading the script. When I use another browser (on my linux box) it gives me the connection lost error again. I haven't tried it with the latest snapshot (so it's a few weeks outdated). I'll go get it and try it right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-10 00:29:39] yohgaki@php.net Derick was asking if you have problem with 4.2.0-dev.... http://snaps.php.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-09 23:26:20] jay1@swift-web.com Have tried using PHP 4.1.1 now and output is still being cut off. It seems to do this when there is a very long string in a variable. For example I have my one program create all the body of an HTML file into one variable such as $body. Other variables handle other sections of the HTML code such as $header, $body_tag, etc. This way many different modules can all have control over the page output regardless of when they are called. But if the output gets fairly large in one variable, then the script seems to stop output (NOT NECESSARILY while outputing that variable but could be in the middle of an echo statement further down. It's as if it can only handle echoing a limited amount HTML. I'm not talking about the variable being huge either, just a couple of pages worth of text. I tried changing the default 8MB of memory a script can use up to 20MB. Currently I have output buffering turned to Off. If I turn it on it seems to handle it better but still have problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
