Re: [MRBS-general] Questions about ics import // Re: import/export csv format

How did it fail?   There are no explicit limits imposed by MRBS, but there
are some system limits that you'll run into.   The first two are php.ini
settings, 'upload_max_filesize', typically 2MByte and 'max_execution_time',
typically 30 seconds.   Beyond that there will be memory and disk space
limits.

At the moment the implementation is fairly basic and the entire file is read
before it is processed.   A better implementation would be to process the
file as it is read in, for example by using PHP streams.   It's not an
entirely trivial change as there are in fact two stages to the processing:
first the file has to be "unfolded" and then it has to parsed and processed.
But not too difficult either.   For the moment you'll probably need to split
the file into smaller chunks.

Hi Campbell,

thanks for your answers.

Well, how about a fifth question just coming up:
Is there a physical/hard limit for the size of imported ics files?
I just failed to import one file with 33,050 events, 230,666 lines,
6,554,798 bytes. I will try to chop this file into pieces, just
wondering if some maxint of 2^15-1 limits the amount of lines...

Cheers
Ralf
