[Clipart] [Fwd: svg "impossible mission"]

[Roan Horning]

Hi,

The problem is caused by the module I'm using that parses the svg file. 
When I use the getid3 demo page I get the following error:

Processing . . . .
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in 
/var/www/cchost/getid3/getid3/extension.parse.xml.php on line 3293

This module works by parsing an xml file, and creating a large array to 
represent the document object model (DOM) of the file. This particular 
svg file has a large number of objects, and I'm guessing it's either 
causing a memory issue which is hanging the system longer than php 
likes, or it is just taking to long to parse and create the DOM tree.

I don't know if the "Maximum execution time" is a general php setting or 
something in the module code itself. My guess is it is a general php 
setting, which if set to a longer time may resolve the issue for this 
graphic.

Either way, it looks like I will need to find a different method/library 
for parsing and validating our svg files to better handle SVG files 
comprised of large numbers of objects.

Its a great piece, perhaps the quick and dirty way to get it into cchost 
is to have the artist submit a simple svg file of the same name, and 
then one of the sysadmins can replace the simple file with the actual 
one on the server via some other file transfer method. As long as getid3 
is only run files during the upload process, this shouldn't cause a problem.

Thanks,

Roan
