    Hello,

    I have a problem when importing Gedcom data into a MySQL database. Records from my gedcom file are perfectly imported into the pgv_other and pgv_sources tables but no record is inserted in the pgv_individuals and pgv_families tables.
    The import process runs as follows. Messages are  displayed apparently until the end of the FAM records is found (Found record xx ID yy Type FAM)
    Then a 'Processed file for xx sec' message appears and next the 'Continue adding' button is displayed.
    But if I click on this button the process seems to loop and no update of the individuals or families tables occurs.

    Any idea about what goes wrong ?

    I already had this problem with the 2.53 version but I successfully updated the database after several trials. Now with the 2.60 version I never succeeded in updating my database (several trials with three different Gedcom files).

      The problem is that you are running out of time when importing your gedcom.  First try increasing the PHP Timeout at Admin->Manage Gedcoms->edit.

      How far in the process do you get?  Do you see a message in bold text "Updating is dead status for INDI" or "Updating family names for FAM"?

      Hello John,

      The PHP time limit value was set to '0' for the three Gedcom files a long time ago.

      The 'Continue Adding' button is displayed before the 'Updating is dead status for INDI' messages that should be displayed and never are.

      Hi Robert,

      It could be the 0 setting that is causing the problem.

      I've uploaded a patched importgedcom.php script for you to try in the patches section.  You can download it here:

      Hi John,

      I changed the PHP time limit to a non zero value and doing so I fixed this problem. I suppose you might no longer be interested in the test I could do with your patched importgedcom script.

      Do you want I do a test with a 0 value and the patched script ?

      If you have a chance could you do a test with the updated script and the TIME_LIMIT set to 0?

      Thanks,

      John,

      Successful tests for my three GEDCOM files with the patched importgedcom script and a 0 setting of the time limit value.

      Many thanks for your help !
