PHP Freezing

[a2jfreak]

I have a couple of PHP files that appear to freeze.  There are no Errors/Warnings so I don't know what's wrong.  Is there any way I can easily find out where it is freezing without having to put echo's throughout the code?

 

Thanks.

Not really, are you sure you have error_reporting enabled and have also enabled display_errors?

[a2jfreak]

Yes, they are both turned on, along with display_startup_errors also.

Can we see the relevant code then?

[a2jfreak]

I'll try a few more things first and hopefully one will work.

 

I just wish there were an easy way to see what was going wrong, as there has to be a reason PHP is freezing.

Look for loops that never end and such.  Quite often that will cause php to freeze.

yea when I ever run into an infinate loop it's like PHP is frozen but it just takes a really long time to time out

 

Sometimes (depending n the browser) it will eventually ask you to save a file

[Ninjakreborn]

Asking you to save the file is normally caused by improper server configurations.

 

Set

error_reporting("E_ALL");

put that at the top of your scripts to see.  If not, then place some echo's in, and see what is not working.  See how far the script is working, there isn't an "easier" way to do it thought, debugging is debugging no mater how you look at it.

Thanks for the replies.  I had to leave unexpectedly yesterday and come in late today and that is why I did not have any more posts.  I should post again within an hour or hopefully less saying it is fixed or with the offending code.  Thanks.

I got it working.  I added some stuff in a loop just to keep track of where in the loop it was freezing.  Odd thing is, it no longer freezes.  I still might post the code, if I can't figure out why what I did worked.
