Script execution fails

[ashly]

Hi,

I am working with php5 and i have a script that should have to be executed as a cron. The main purpose of the script is to send reports as pdf files to different users. The problem is when i generate a number of pdfs, the script fails to complete the process and results in display a page with network error. It is creating around 6 types of pdf files in each execution, each having an average size of 500 KB. The memory_get_usage() returns the value -51507298 after a function call in ezpdf library. just before the function call the value for the same was 1967298. Default php.ini setting for memory_limit is 50 MB. I have set the memory limit in the script to 500 MB.

 

ini_set("memory_limit", "500M");

 

I am using the library ezpdf to generate pdf files. Can anyone help me to sort out the problem...?

 

Thanks in advance

try running it through the browser - sending just one lot of pdf's to you and see if any errors crop up.

 

If that is ok then i suggest you clear any memory cache on each loop so that it doesn't fail next time round...

i am running it through the browser.. tried each pdf's separately.. but the same problem exists..

I thin you should do this using cron job i.e. a backend process not from the browser because the browser times out the max execution time before the script gets executed fully.
