Stop Time Out

Hey I have a 404 error page which sends me an email when every something goes wrong so that i know if there are any dead links on my site.

Im trying to get all the variables which the user was passing at the that current time.

This is what im using to get the the data

PHP Code:

---

    $data = "Get\n";
    
    $var = $_GET;
    foreach($var as $key => $val)
        $data .= "$key==$val\n";
    
    $data .= "\nPost\n";
    $var = $_POST;
    foreach($var as $key => $val)
        $data .="$key==$val\n";
    
    $data .= "\nSESSION\n";
    $var = $_SESSION;
    foreach($var as $key => $val)
        $data .= "$key==$val\n";
    
    $data .= "\nCookie\n";
    $var = $_COOKIE;
    foreach($var as $key => $val)
        $data .= "$key==$val\n";

The problem is that it times out before it can send the email? Does anyone know of a more efficant way of getting the variables

Thanks

I think this is what you are looking for:
http://in.php.net/function.set-time-limit

You could try this... tho I'm not sure if it would be faster:

PHP Code:

---

while(list($key, $val) = each($_REQUEST))
    {$data .="$key==$val\n";} 


---

The REQUEST array holds all GET, POST, COOKIE elements, but not the SESSION array... (AFAIK).

That's weird; I wouldn't think that chunk of code would take that long to execute. :confused:

Its strange on my PC it works fine, but on my web site it timesout :(

ober0330, I want to know which variables came from which method, Post Get Session etc.

Acidic i dont want the time-outlimit to be increased beacuse i dont the user to wait around as its an error page and i want the user to be redirected ASAP.

Just out of curiousity, what effect can SESSION and COOKIE have on a page not showing up?

What happens is that the page doesnt get displayed it just waits and waits. I took it off as it wasnt really that important, I just thought it would help me to keep the level of dead links down.

Could also be that on my PC im using PHP 5 and my webhosting is using 4.x

Cheers for all the feedback :)

Sorry, I worded my last post wrong -- what effect could COOKIE and SESSION have on dead links? Why are you interested in this information?

I want to know what the user was doing at the time. If the user is logged in, then certain session data is stored. But like I said its not that really important.

Say if they were following links that were generated from a database then i would need to change my code to correct the mistakes. Was just an idea that i thought could help me. O Well :lol:
