[PHP] XMLRPC and file_get_contents
Hi all,
I'm writing an XML-REC client in PHP, based on the following example:
array(
'method' => "POST",
'header' => "Content-Type: text/xml",
'content' => $request
)));
$file = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com/xmlrpc";, false, $context);
$response = xmlrpc_decode($file);
if (xmlrpc_is_fault($response)) {
trigger_error("xmlrpc: $response[faultString] ($response[faultCode])");
} else {
print_r($response);
}
?>
If the XMLRPC call takes longer than say 30 seconds, the file_get_contents
method doesn't returns null, and the script finishes. However, the XMLRPC server
is not finished with the computation and gets a broken pipe since the client has
already closed the connection.
Is there some timeout? Am I doing something wrong?
Kind regards,
Andreas

There could be several timeouts at work here. First you can set a
timeout in the context[1]. Second the PHP request time limit[2]. And
finally your web server (assuming this is running through a web server)
will have its own timeout - check the documentation for whatever server
you're using for details.

[2] http://php.net/set_time_limit
Hi Stut,
I already used the set_time_limit to set a script running timeout. Looks like
the problem was the timeout in the context.
Thanks very much for you help.

[PHP] XML-RPC problem with long running times
Hi all, I'm using Apache/1.3.33 (Unix), PHP/5.0.3, mod_ssl/2.8.22, OpenSSL/0.9.6a. I wrote a dummy script that is called by a Java program via XML-RPC, waits for some time and replies the start and end times. If the script sleeps for up to 5 minutes, it works perfectly fine. However, I my real application will run probably an hour or so. If the script takes more than 5 minutes to execute, the client receives an empty response, even the header is missing. If I try to write the $xmlResponse to a file, the client receives a null message. I wrote a small script without XMLRPC that acted the same way when called by a browser. This worked perfectly (I tested it up to 20 minutes waiting time) even if I used set_time_limit(5) and sleep(500). Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] XML-RPC problem with long running times
Of course, fflusch($log); should be fflush($log); I just found out that $xmlResponse really is empty. However, connection_status() returns 0, so I assume that the script is not interrupted by a timeout. Why does xmlrpc_server_call_method($xmlServer, $xmlRequest, NULL) return nothing if the call takes longer than 5 minutes and there is no interrupt? Is there some "special" XMLRPC timeout? Any idea?
