I work for a company that has around 20 sites using PHP.  Lately I have been tracking some odd script timeout problems.  None are related to bad code or database connectivity.  

I started doing some extensive logging and have a report that shows that every timeout that I checked followed a pattern.  

This is just a section of the log file I am looking at
Date	Action	# of processes running

The one that started first, finished last.  That script usually takes less than zero seconds.  Though this time it took 60.014 seconds.  Our script timeout is set to 240 seconds right now so we can capture these script durations.  

This happens at all times of the day.  No apparent pattern, other than that the one that takes an extrodinary time to complete is consistently the first one in this block of processes.  And it always finishes last, but that is less startling because it takes so long to finish.

This is a snippet from the performance log on Jan 10 2002.  Notice that this script usually takes 0. some seconds.  But one of these took 31.9 seconds.  This happens periodically on our busiest sites.  This file only includes on file with a few functions.  Executes two of those functions.  One just creates a menu using a few if statements.  The other simply outputs some html.  
function stuff() {
?> html stuff here
<?}

Try APD to make sure if this is PHP or your script fault.

http://apd.communityconnect.com/
(APD supports tracing script execution)

You need UNIX like OS ;) Try Linux :)

I will take a look at ADP.  I have to find some time to set it up.  

In the mean time does anybody have any ideas why the same script could be running at less than 0.4 seconds and then jump to 32 seconds then go back to normal?  It isnt just this script.  It happens with others.  Not at any kind of interval either.  Any brainstorms would be helpful, I have been racking my brain trying to think of any reason for this.

Thanks

I'm running windows 2000 Server and php 4.2.1.  and in the event log I get:

"The script started from the URL '/forumdisplay.php' with parameters 's=40c968aa1dd20b93bbe8317b2749dbc8&forumid=15' has not responded within the configured timeout period.  The HTTP server is terminating the script. 
For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at: "

I am running the latest version of Vbulletin on the server and can't see anyone else on the forums experiencing the same problems. So it shouldn't be related to the scripts I am running. A lot of the time the script runs fine.  I occasionaly notice the forums hanging and believe it  is down to this same problem.
