Hi,
I have a problem that could be a bug, or maybe not. I was hoping to get
a little feedback on ways I might go about figuring what my problem is.
I've already posted this to PHP-General (
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=115859850619474 ), with
not a lot of luck. some details are re-iterated here.
I have a site that reads an xml feed from an external website, parses
it, and displays the result. It seems to work well, if a little
unoptimally, but occasionally the script just seems to pause. Using
microtime() at various points in the page I've found that it just seems
to wait (as if it were waiting for a lock or something). This seems to
occur multiple times at multiple points in the script, adding up to a
very slow script execution overall. It seems to average about 45-60
seconds, as opposed to the 0.5 - 1.5 it normally runs in. I've tried
using APD, but it just told me what I already knew, at random points in
the script it's just taking a long time.
I think the next step is probably the PHP-Internal debugger, but I have
no clue how to use it, is there a resource available that might help me?
Thanks, I apologize in advance if anyone thinks this doesn't belong in
the Internals list.
Chris
