How to Skip a process

   Frihost Forum Index -> Scripting -> Php and MySQL
 


Philip
we know we can set_time_limit(0); and set ignore_user_abort(2); the process wont stop,

but still there's a question, how about i record a the process on a databases, and write still processing. after the process has finished it will update the still processing to processed.

but i don;t want the user wait until the processed. so is there a way to skip a script processing to a user ?

thanks, Smile

Set up a cron job to read the database, do the processing, and update the database when finished.

So ... let's say user asks for lengthy process.
What you do is write to the database something like this
Code:
user | process | status
  42 | LENGTHY | WAITING

Then, when the cron job starts (every hour or whatever you feel is appropriate) you read all jobs with status==WAITING, update them to PENDING, do the lengthy process, and finally update those records again to FINISHED.

With these three status codes, the user can know if his process is still WAITING or if it's RUNNING or if it's FINISHED
