My latest script is designed to search for a specific file in the current directory. If it doesn't find the file, it will move up one directory and try again.
The script functions properly when the file is found. However, if the file is not present, the script continues searching until it eventually times out after 30 seconds, despite implementing a counter to control the number of search attempts.
$path = 'log.log';
$file_exists = 0;
$search_count = 0;
$search_limit = 3;
while($file_exists == 0) {
while($search_count < $search_limit) {
if(file_exists($path)) {
$file_exists = 1;
$search_count = $search_limit + 1;
$resource = fopen($path, "r");
while (!feof($resource)) {
echo fgetss($resource);
}
fclose($resource);
} else {
$path = '../'.$path;
$search_count++;
}
}
}
