Is there a size limit to a PHP file being called by Apache?

Crosb234 — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:26:59 GMT

I have a very long ifelse statement in a php file using the echo() function being called by my Apache server. There are 30 different categories with 20 different banner ads per if statement so that is about 1200 echo() statements. I am not storing the data in MySQL because the length of the columns are different returning an error in MySQL. Therefore, I am just storing the data in the php file. However, when I got to the sixth if statement I had an internal server error. Is there a limitation to how big a php file can be that is being called by Apache? If there is, how do I fix it? What's even more strange is to fix the problem I just deleted the php file, created another one with the same data, and then it worked.

How to setup server to ignore .htaccess files in subdirectories.

jgivoni — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 16:48:40 GMT

I would like to set up a configuration so that some, but not all, .htaccess files are ignored - or handled as a regular (text-)file.

This should be setup in an .htaccess file and prevent i.e. Apache from processing .htaccess files in any subdirectory to the current. But I don't know which directive(s) to use.

The reason is that I have a folder where user uploads are stored. To prevent the user executing scripts (i.e. php) I have changed the handler for the files of the directory and subdirectories. But they could still upload an .htaccess to a subdirectory that reverted that change.

I know that the software should also dissallow certain files - and it will - but I don't wanna rely on the software alone, since 'any' bug could potentially render that useless.

I also cannot use the Apache conf file for this.
And lastly, the solution has to know nothing about the actual directory names it trying to protect.

Is it possible?

Thanks for your help,
Jakob

Limitations of PHP in large scale web applications?

jgivoni — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 22:53:24 GMT

Before I start building my next site, using PHP and MySQL as I usually do, I would like to know if you have any advice regarding what problems I could run in to if the site becomes very successful and needs to handle thousands of simultaneous users.

What would be the average maximun capacity for a single server? What to do, if that limit is reached?
Are there any reasons, with regards to this, that I shouldn't use PHP?

I would really appreciate it if you have experience in these matters, and be warned that I might ask you further questions if you participate in this discussion!

Cheers,
Jakob
