RE: [PHP] How to detect a PHP script time-out?

This is a fairly simple one if both the server and browser obey the specs: Set up output buffering on your page then if the page times out the buffer should be sent to the browser and that is loaded with your message. PSEUDO CODE: start output buffering put into buffer the required message start building actual page in a string behind the scenes fork--> page times out the buffer is sent out --> page ends properly ... clear the buffer and output the string you built Timothy Hitchens (HiTCHO) Open Platform Consulting e-mail: tim@hitcho.com.au > -----Original Message----- > From: Jean-Christian Imbeault [mailto:jc@mega-bucks.co.jp] > Sent: Wednesday, 8 January 2003 1:25 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] How to detect a PHP script time-out? > > > How can I detect if my PHP script is about to time-out? > > I would like to be able to detect a time-out and display a > page with an > appropriate error message "i.e. the server is busy now, > please try again > later". > > Jc > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
