I came accross this problem after trying to generate a large output with no success. The page just broke before anything would start being received by the browser.
So I thought it had to do with timeout and I changed the php time limit (e.g. set_time_limit(6000);).
Well, I noticed that even then the page still did not bring anything, so that I decided to:
1) Instead of generating the output to the browser, I now write it to a file on my server.
2) The only output I generate is a link to that file.
Now it works, but......
I need the generated HTML page to be protected, i.e., to follow my standards as to which users may or may not see its contents.
So I tried writing a simple page inside CCS with just one label, and I fill this label with some predefined string (I will call this page the master page). So I have actually 3 files on my server named:
master.html
master.php
master_events.php
It is inside master_events.php that the label gets filled:
function Label_BeforeShow()
{
$Label_BeforeShow = true;
//End Label_BeforeShow
//Custom Code @5-5014F291
// -------------------------
global $Label;
$output = 'text_to_be_substituted';
$Label->SetValue($output);
// -------------------------
//End Custom Code
//Close Label_BeforeShow @4-0A387B17
return $Label_BeforeShow;
}
//End Close Label_BeforeShow
And then I just say that access to master.php is restricted according to my needs.
Now, when I generate my output file, instead of just generating the HTML output, what I do is to read from these 3 files, perform the necessary string substitutions and output 3 other files:
master_randomstring.html
master_randomstring.php
master_randomstring_events.php
And I generate a link to master_randomstring.php.
The greater difference would be inside master_randomstring_events.php, where I would have something like:
global $Label;
$output = '<p>Here comes all my HTML output, up to some MBytes.........</p>';
$Label->SetValue($output);
And now when I click over the link to master_randomstring.php the page breaks again....
Does this have to do with some PHP limitation (the size of a string expression which can be attributed to some variable, or passed as parameter to a function, etc...
Is there a simpler way to protect my output according to the permissions I want for the page???
Apparently Apache is not even generating an error log, which indicates that PHP is the one that is breaking the output....
Please HELP!!!!!!...
