PHP script ends earlier, no evidence of error and timeout set to 0

time for another brain teaser of something, I think, is pretty rare.

Is there a hard limit in PHP? Or in Apache? Last night I ran a script that lasted about 20 hours. Then it just stopped, in the middle of the script, on a random line without errors that I could find.

set_time_limit (0); was set in a script, but I'm starting to wonder if there is another limit somewhere else around 20 hours ...

any ideas?

Thank you very much in advance.

edit: this runs as wget.

edit2: I'm going to look at a memory problem and get back to you, thanks for the help so far!

edit3: Oh, I have to point out that this script collects data and stores it in an array, the longer it works, the more it is stored, so yes, I look a little affectionately at "used up all the memory" answers here ...

SOLUTION: the installation of more memory for the operation is fixed. Thanks to everyone.

Probably php-cli just crashed or your server rebooted. i don't think php will be executed to last

Maybe PHP will run out of memory after some time.

Consider forcing PHP garbage to be compiled at each loop iteration, which might reveal some clues. http://php.net/manual/en/function.gc-collect-cycles.php

I had a script that worked for several months without problems. I just had to kill the process to complete the script. therefore there are no restrictions if you have set_time_limit (0) set; in your code. Have you looked at the system and debug logs of your operating system? which may give further hints why php or apache crashes.

as stated above, check the apache, / var / log / error.log, or in the event windows.

since you used wget, I assume it works under apache. maybe this is apache, which has a restriction on running the script, and not your php application.

you can verify this by running the application from the cli version

check php.ini to find the max_execution_time file to make changes for this part, since it takes a few seconds as input.

but be careful when editing php.ini
