Handling Long Processes
I am building web app, that will run a long processs (image processing) that can porbably take 15-30 minutes to complete) in respond to a user request (the user clicks a "process" button on a php web form). The ideal situation that I see is once the user's request was recevied, a reply that says "you request is being processed.
we will send you email once finished", will be sent to the user, while the other process will take place. When it's finished, a callback function will be called that sends email to the user notifying him the process outcome. What are the options to implement that?
multithreading?

Problem In Handling Long Text In MYSQL Table
i am making a database driven website which is working fine. My web page contains lot of text and it is very diffcult to upadate its content from the text_field of MQSQL table.

I want to know what should i do to handle this long text ...such as if i am able to make a seperate text file for each of my html_body variable and somehow include that file to a webpage when i select a particular parent_id from my wepage.

How Long Is Too Long For A Script To Execute? GetTimer()
I'm using some scripts and they're executing from .007 - .010 It defines many files, imports several files (total of maybe 20), encrypts 2 strings several times base64 IN flash, WWW-Authenticating to a PHP file, PHP grabs a MySQL Query, returns it, traces it. That happens all in .007 seconds roughly. How long is too long until you should find a new script. If a script runs with a time of .05, is that the general limit or is that fast?

PHP Processes
I have a cronjob triggering a php script that takes several minutes to accomplish. I need to prevent multiple triggering by the cronjob mulfunctioning. So I would like a clean way to know how many instances of a certain php are currently working on the server. is there a server variable for that? if not, how do I know (via php) how many concurrent accesses are there to a certain php page? for example in mysql (the "SHOW PROCESSLIST" command), but I need a similar function for the php page iself.

Automated Processes
Customers post 'projects' to my site. These 'projects' are closed after 10 days. I could run a script on the default.php page that detects this, but it seems a waste of resources to run it everytime someone visits the site. Is there a way around this, for example the first visitor to the site in any, say, 3 hour period, runs the script & switches the most recently outdated projects from open to closed?

Stranded PHP Processes And ProcessExplorer
Does anyone know what it means if I see PHP processes in the process tree at the base level, instead of under the IIS worker process? I do nothing but web serving off of the box. These processes that are not under the IIS worker process seem to be stranded/hung. They are never cleaned up by any garbage collection and I have to kill them manually. They also always have a fairly low memory usage, potentially indicating that they fail before loading completely. Could it be that the execution of the process fails early enough that ProcessExplorer doesn't see them as being executed by IIS?

Large Data Transfer Between 2 Processes
fist the context: I have a web server which query a mySql database. but as the number of parralel queries increase, the server slows down too much. I got 2 ideas, one of which is to run N deamons which effectively execute requests. the PHP uses message queuing(1) to queue queries request to the daemons. but the answer may be quite large, larger than messages the message queueing service can handle. I thought to open back a communication link between the current daemon and the waiting PHP to tranfer/process the result, using the message queueing service to send back info regarding the opened link. I thought to open a pipe between the current daemon and the PHP. is this possible? and if so, how? if not, is an IP link to localhost be as fast as a pipe?

Keeping Users Informed In Lengthy PHP Processes
Often PHP processes take a long time, such as wildcard searching a PostgreSQL database, or generating thumbnails. The PHP host page does not display until the script is complete, so you can not effectively use code such as echo "Converting file ".$Infile; exec(convert $Infile $O8utfile); for realtime feedback to the user. How have others implemented a "progress meter" in PHP processes , one thought I had was to use Javascript redirection to call a PHP page with differing parameters each time .

Checkboxes - Loop That Takes The Values And Processes And Writes The Changes To The Database.
I generate a form page from my MySQL database. let's say the table structure is: Table A > ID, title, active the number of rows generated by the query is dynamic. If a field's value is 1, then the form output appears as <input type=checkbox name=$ID checked> $title and if not <input type=checkbox name=$ID> $title At the bottom of the form there is a submit button. The visitor can check/uncheck rows and then submit the form. I need to write a loop (possibly foreach) that takes the values and processes them and writes the changes to the database.

Oracle + PHP + Long Process
Oracle 10g RAC on Linux, with an end-user interface via Apache/PHP/AdoDB on a separate Linux box. I need to create a PHP web interface to allow an end-user to run a PL/SQL stored proc that will do a force refresh of a series of materialized views following the loading (through another PHP interface) of additional flat file data into the underlying tables. I want to allow multiple data uploads and then do a single refresh, so I won't be able to use fast refresh or other internal database trigger mechanisms. My real problem is that the time taken to execute the stored proc is likely to considerably exceed the max script execution time for PHP, and I don't want the end-user interface to just sit there bubbling away waiting for the Oracle processes to return a response anyway. I am considering creating a "master" PL/SQL stored procedure which would use the Oracle DBMS_SCHEDULER package to run a nearly-immediate job as a "background" (to the PHP interface) process. Is this the way to go, or are there other better solutions that I am overlooking?

How Long Can I Make A Cookie Last?
I realize that the "cookie" is not a PHP-specific topic. However, I'm developing my web site using primarily the PHP programming language so I thought that the PHP forum would be an appropriate place to post this question. My question is this: Is there a limit on the amount of time that a cookie will remain on a user's computer? In other words, if I code a time frame of a year or two for the cookie to expire will the cookie stay on the user's computer for that long?

How Long Does It Take For A Session To Timeout
How long does it take for a session to timeout,if I have a user logged in on my site, how much time of inactivity will it take before the session is automatically destroyed and they become logged out,i do not use cookies,I have these values in my php info session.cache_expire 180 session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 session.gc_probability 1 from what I understand the session is destroyed after 180 minutes of inactivity,but the session has a 1% chance of being garbage collected after 1440 seconds of inactivity (is this destroyed?) so if I wanted all sessions destroyed after the 1440 seconds, should i set the probability to 100 or should i change the session.cache_expire 180 to something that would suit me better, i.e. the 1440 seconds, i.e. session.cache_expire 24, would this always delete the session after 24 minutes,or do both values have to correspond etc,
