Problem with execution time (I think)

I've written a script which will parse iTunes library files (XML) and record the contents into a database.

It works perfectly fine with small files (couple of megabytes). However a file around 10mb seems to make the script grind to a halt.

I've set the following at the top of my script:

ini_set("max_input_time", 300);
ini_set("max_execution_time", 300);

PHP:

And i've changed upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in php.ini to 20mb (20M).

The script doesn't output anything, nor does it perform any of the database queries, it's just a blank screen.

 

Try this

echo ini_get('memory_limit');

It may be set to something low like 8mb. If you are reading the entire file contents into a variable (memory) this will exceed the limit before you even have a chance to process it.

You can up the limit like this:

ini_set('memory_limit', 16000000);

Then try again.

Good Luck

 

try setting the timeout

set_time_limit(0);

 

Thanks for the help.. i'd changed some values in php.ini, but apparently the php.ini was in the wrong place (/etc/php.ini instead of /usr/local/lib/php.ini).
Changed the path and it worked fine, thanks anyway though.
