[FX.php List] 5 minute timeout?

[Andrew Denman]

David,

Your problem intrigued me as I plan do to something similar in the future,
so I searched around and found this:

Let us know if this is it.

I looked at my 'Keep-Alive' setting in my webserver, Microsoft's IIS v6,
and it was on (which is what I think I would want) and set to 1200
seconds (20 minutes). Turning it off had no effect. I've turned it back
on.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I feel certain the problem is that the page being sent to the browser is
not completed in 5 minutes, resulting in a 'timeout' being initiated by
the client browser.

I pursued having PHP echo text to the display and then flushing it, and
this did indeed result in a browser window being updated with new
content ever few seconds, but did NOT stop the 5 minute mark 'timeout'.
I suspect this is because the page/PHP script was not COMPLETED within
that timeframe. I think the browser is looking for the page to be
completed within 5 minutes or it times out the connection, resulting in
the PHP script that was running to stop also.

I would have thought there would be a browser preference, or better yet,
a html head or meta tag that I could add to my page that informs the
client browser to work with a timeout of a value of the developer's
setting.

Does anyone else run a PHP script of any type that executes in over 5
minutes?

Any more ideas?
