mysql_query hanging


DavidSWP

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I would really appreciate some help with a problem I have using mysql_query in php 5, Mysql ver. 5

I'm executing a series of very simple sql SELECT queries in a loop using the PHP function mysql_query.  Individually the queries work fine, even the ones it crashes on, but in my script which executes maybe a thousand one after another it gets to a point where it just completely hangs.  Its hanging at different SELECT queries each time I run it which makes me think its a memory error.

Is there a simple solution to this problem that I am missing?  What steps should I take to track down the problem, there are no error messages at all, the function just fails to finish.

Thanks

You mean the script?

Ok there is a main script and a wrapper class around the mysql functions.  I have tracked the error down to the mysql_query call in the wrapper class.  This looks like a lot of code, but what what I am having trouble with is very trivial as I explained.  I'm certain its a random memory error since it happens at different points.  WHat I'm really looking for is some general advise on debuging the call to mysql_query in the absence of any error messages

Thanks again..

Some suggestions.  the first one seems most likely, particularly since your connecting to everything all at once: xml, mysql, mail ....

You could be execing your PHP script time.  If you have access to your ini file, you could give your scripts a longer execution time.

But there may be easier ways to get all of this done.  Maybe breaking the functionality into seperate pages, which redirect to each other...

Just some suggestions, HTH

Do you mean that its hitting a time limit and then chopping the script?  How do I alter this in the .ini file?

Why would there be a time limit?  It does take about 3 minutes before it crashes out but surely I should be able to process as much as I want?

I can't help with specifics, but I can offer advice based on php/pgsql experiene.  If your script is hanging during a database call, then you can leave it running and inspect the database itself.  Get a list of running queries, and see if they are waiting on any locks, etc etc.  IS it possible there might be other scripts running that could case a deadlock?  I can't help you with specific commands to do that under Mysql though.

I assume that your "fputs($fp, ...)" commands would normally be database queries?

There are some things you can do to speed up execution

Use value lists in INSERT queries, so instead of

[code]INSERT INTO tableA (a, b, c) VALUES (a1, b1, c1)
INSERT INTO tableA (a, b, c) VALUES (a2, b2, c2)
INSERT INTO tableA (a, b, c) VALUES (a3, b3, c3)[/code]

use

[code]INSERT INTO tableA  (a, b, c) VALUES
(a1, b1, c1),
(a2, b2, c2),
(a3, b3, c3)[/code]

No, the fputs commands are building an import file.  They aren't normally queries.  All I have in essence is:

foreach thing (of which there are maybe 1000)
  MYSQL SELECT to see if thing already exists
  if thing already exists
      print a few strings to a file
  if thing doesn't already exist
      MSQL SELECT to get another single value
      print some other stuff to a file

I really don't know how I could split this functionality as the logic is extremely trivial.

There are no scripts running at the same time.  I don't know how to examine the database for running queries, have you any advise? 

Thanks for help so far!

What do you mean by hang? jefkin's thought is one I'd consider.

Put this just before "require_once ('../wp-blog-header.php');". You may not be seeing all errors
[code]
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
[/code]
Run the script again and perhaps the "max_execution_time" error will be shown.

This kind of script would probably be better run from the [url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php]command line[/url] where there are no execution time restrictions.

[quote=DavidSWP]

[code]
SHOW PROCESSLIST
[/code]

EDIT: You may be able to change the max_execution_time setting using [url=http://www.php.net/ini_set]ini_set()[/url] depending on the "safe_mode" setting. If you have full access to the server then you can of course change whatever you like in the php.ini.

I've altered the 2 execution time values in the script to 999 and increased the max operating memory limit in php.ini but I still have the problem.

I will try your suggestions tommorow regarding displaying errors and processes.  Need some sleep now!
Yes it would make sense to run this script from the command line.  I didn't realise it operated differently.

Thanks again.
