Well. I'm trying to do some debugging with a set of daily scripts on my site that refuses to completely go through the things its supposed to do. The script is mainly 2 while loops, 1 while loop inside the other. The first while loop is supposed to go through about 100-120 entries at max, while the while loop inside it also goes through about 100-120 entries at max. What's happening is that I have it set on a cron timer and half or more of the designated jobs are left unfinished and I always end up having to manually trigger the script again to finish everything. I am wondering if this is too much of a load on the loops, or would they normally be able to finish this in a certain amount of time? Or, if that isn't the problem, I am also wondering whether the way I have it set up is the problem? Currently I have several scripts running from the same include file, which contains the function with the 2 while loops. Is having so many scripts running from a single function causing the script to stall and stop? I'd like to rule out these two problems before I delve into the actual code to see if there is an actual code bug causing this issue.

Well. Hopefully this is the right forum to mention this in. But the past couple days someone has been creating accounts on my website with what I recognize as MIME mail header code in various spots (email, password, nickname, etc.) You know ... Content-Type: multipart and border: 53aa442251g2251, etc. Of course, it was cut off after the border due to restrictions in the size. I was wondering if anyone might know the motive behind this or if it might be harmful to the game or what? If so, what might be the most effective way to keep this from happening? I've currently closed registrations until I can figure out whether this person is doing this to annoy me or what.
