30 maximum execution time!!!!

[Peuplarchie]

Good day to you all,

          I have a problem of maximum execution time over an directory listing.

 

1. Is there a way to do this faster ?

2. Or is it a setting on my server ? isn't the default 30 seconds.

3. I'm working with a lot of files !         

4. Is there a better way of doing this?

 

Error :

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in Photos_gallery\update_menu.php on line 27

 

 

Code :

<?php

$directory = "Art/";
function dirList ($directory)
{

    //create 2 arrays - one for folders and one for files
   $folders = array();
   $files = array();

    // create a handler for the directory
    $handler = opendir($directory);

    // keep going until all files in directory have been read
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handler))) {  

        // if $file isn't this directory or its parent,
        // add it to the results array
        if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
       
        // If file is directory, mark it in bold.
       if(is_dir($directory.$file)) {
        array_push($folders,$file);

	    if (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 604800) {
    $folder_modified[] = "<span style=\"color:#DB1212;\"><li><div class=\"folder\"><img src=\"plus_icon.gif\"  onclick=\"Toggle('".preg_replace('/\//','_',$directory."".$file)."'); return false;\" /><b>".$file."</b></div>";
} elseif (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 31556926) {
    $folder_modified[] = "<span style=\"color:#003366;\"><li><div class=\"folder\"><img src=\"plus_icon.gif\"  onclick=\"Toggle('".preg_replace('/\//','_',$directory."".$file)."'); return false;\" /><b>".$file."</b></div>";
} else {$folder_modified[] = "<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><li><div class=\"folder\"><img src=\"plus_icon.gif\"  onclick=\"Toggle('".preg_replace('/\//','_',$directory."".$file)."'); return false;\" /><b>".$file."</b></div>";}


       
        // Else not styled
        }else{
        array_push($files,$file);
     $filenamecor = substr($file, 0, -4);
    if (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 604800) {
    $file_modified[] = '<span style="color:#DB1212;">'.$filenamecor.'<span>';
} elseif (time() - filemtime($directory.$file) < 31556926) {
    $file_modified[] = '<span style="color:#003366;">'.$filenamecor.'<span>';
} else {$file_modified[] = '<span style="color:#000000;">'.$filenamecor.'<span>';}


    }
    }

    echo "<ul id=\"".preg_replace('/\//','_',substr($directory,0,strlen($directory)-1))."\">\n"; //start a new unordered list for every iteration through dirList

$dircor = $directory;
    // tidy up: close the handler
    closedir($handler);
    foreach($folders as $folder=>$file) {

      echo "<li><div class=\"folder\">".$folder_modified[$folder]."</div>"; //echo the folder name enclosed in a list item
        dirList($directory.$file.'/'); //loop through the contents of $folder
      echo "</li>\n"; //close this list item after all files and folders in $folder have been looped through
   
   
    }

    foreach($files as $key=>$file) {

      echo "<li><a href=\"index.html\" onclick=\"load('image_view.php?dir=".$dircor."&file=".$file."','boxdisp');return false;\"> ".$file_modified[$key]."</a></li>\n"; //echo the file name enclosed in a list item
    }


    echo "</ul>\n"; //close the unordered list
}




$filename = 'menu.html';
$somecontent = dirList($directory);

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {

    // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
    // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
    // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
    if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }

    echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

    fclose($handle);

} else {
    echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}

 

What I'm trying to do is list a directory recurcively and write the result in a html page.

So it faster to load for user

 

to get it content later from the photos gallery page the user will only see..

set_time_limit should work, but know that a browser may timeout without data being sent to the screen. But give that a try and see if it works for you.
