PHPRunner Time-Out Issue	6/1/2009 12:27:53 PM
PHPRunner General questions
J jkeagle13 author Hello, We have a system where individuals have to fill out a form that they then save. This form consists of 5 rich-text boxes that require lengthy narratives to be entered. In a best case scenario it can take 30 minutes to fill out. In a worst-case scenario it can take two hours to fill out an evaluation. We have users reporting that when they click "SAVE" they get a time-out error and all of the data is lost. I followed the steps below and am still getting sporadic emails from individuals stating that their data has been lost due to a time-out. Any advice? You can change max_execution_time variable value in php.ini. You can also use set_time_limit() function in your code to override default value. More info: http://us.php.net/set_time_limit I added the set_time_limit() in the dbcommon.php but it seems to have been to no avail. Is there a different file I have to add it to as well? Are there additional changes I can make in order to try and avoid this time-out issue? Thank you, Joseph Irvine

	Hello, Questions I am tossing back and forth as I try to solve this issue: What happens if the script can't find a valid session when it executes session_start() during the script execution of the form submittal - would it go to the logon screen, or would it display this timeout message? Does PHPrunner use session cookies, or server-side session management? We are wondering if this is perhaps an isolated Internet Explorer issue. Could this be the case? Thanks, Joseph Irvine
