How to execute the file completely ??

[d.shankar]

Hi phpfreaks !

 

This thread may sound a bit crazy but plz to try to help me if you people can.

 

 

Consider i have a website(www.test.com) and i have a big file with lot of operations in a file called test.php

 

plz assume the file has some 2000 lines of code and at the end of the line there is a  insert table operation to make sure that the file has reached the end and all the operatiions above have completed, i.e to make sure if the page was accessed.

 

When a user requests the file from the browser say www.test.com/test.php , the file runs for some 10 seconds to complete the operation.

 

Killer Situation:

So when a user closes the window within 10 seconds , the operations won't get completed , the insert operation does not perform too.

 

 

 

My request is that when the user closes the window within 10 secs, is it possible to make the file run in the server background so that it gets executed fully or are there any means to perform this ???

 

Please let me know if this sounds weird !!!

Dude it didnt workout for me

 

I requested the page and immediately unplugged my lan cable to check this.

 

But it didnt seem to work.... what may be the problem ?

[d.shankar]

I tried like this

 

<?php
ini_set("ignore_user_abort", 1);


sleep(20);



		$to		=	"myself@gmail.com";

		$from = 'adasd@sdfsdf.sdfsf';

		$subjectx = "testing";

		$body="Mail sent";		

		$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

		$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

		$headers .= $from ."\r\n";



		mail($to,$subjectx,$body,$headers);

?>

 

 

wheni run this file for 20 seconds.. i get the mail.

 

I called this file and immediately closed my browser in 2 seconds but i didnt get the mail

 

any suggestions ??

any help would be appreciated. thanks

Why not access it via an ajax request. This would continue it running in the background regardless of what the user does.

[d.shankar]

i am not so familiar with AJAX gevans. thanks for the info

 

why the code of mine doesnt work ? Am i playing it right ?

Try

ignore_user_abort(true);
set_time_limit(0);

instead.

[d.shankar]

I have tried that too Daniel0, it is supposed to execute the file endlessly.

 

Thanks again.
