Error reading large plist files #33
Comments
I think CFPropertyList will not be able to read large files, because it is not a stream parser. Even if we parse the xml with stream based parser, the class will still store all the informations in memory, wich is impossible with large files. |
Hey @jacobraccuia, it's not a bug and it's not really a server error either. Once you load a file into CFPropertyList, it will start creating object oriented entities for all objects. Unfortunately, there is no other option than storing them into memory. As I see it, you have two options: You either increase your memory limit, execution time limit and you limit the size of the file upload or you work directly in XML with XPath. Hope this helps |
Hi @lpotherat ,
|
Sorry for the late answer, do you have any news on your tests ? @jasper2virtual |
Hi @lpotherat , |
Please note that per #36 we're looking for someone to take over maintenance of this project. I have moved on from PHP and neither the time nor the desire to keep working on CFPropertyList. |
thanks for the plist reader!
I am using a form to have users submit their itunes.xml plist to the site, which then parses the data and displays statistics about their listening habits.
It works fine when uploaded files ~ 20mb, but a 72mb is throwing the following error.
Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): (null)(null)xmlSAX2Characters: out of memory in Entity, line: 538384 in ..../classes/CFPropertyList/CFPropertyList.php on line 267.
I've increased the memory on my php server to 528mb and have a long time out to help troubleshoot this, but I didn't get anywhere.
You can test it yourself at:

Is this a server error or bug here?
Thanks
