Why does AutoAdd get stuck? It just stops, then the browser times out after a long time. The site it seems to get stuck
on gets on the list and my site is added when I go and manually check it's all ok, but it never gets to "[ OK
]" on the AutoAdd screen.

Maybe it's the next site in the list, but when I start it up again, and start it from the next site in the list, that
goes OK.

It's possible that some sites send you to another page when your add is done, and maybe that's what is confusing the
script, but that is hard to test at this point.

Hi Jim,

yes debugging this kind of code is tricky, since there are lots of parameters involved. Could be that the server of one
of the sites you are trying to add your site to is down or heavily loaded. Could be some routing error between the two
servers. Could be the autoadd code that gets caught in an endless loop.

If you send me the sites by email (support at linkex dot dk) I can see if there are any tricky stuff with them.

The best thing you can do is make sure the script times out after too long of sitting there, and it must be set before
most browsers would time out and say "done".

I've tried lots of things to figure out what is going on, and I'm learning more about your script and PHP but I don't
know if PHP net access can get completely stuck and / or how to set a proper low level timeout that doesn't fail.

I have taken the list from a few before the problem URL, entered them all including the problem URL and it goes just
fine. This is right after it stopped, I just go back and enter them again and it goes OK. So if it is a network/routing
problem or whatever, making sure it times out, or retries a few times after timeout would be the best thing.

I am having the exact same problem.... sometimes it "gets stuck" on a site and sometimes that site is fine.

it would be great if there were some kind of timer so that if you didnt get an "ok" after 30 seconds it just
moves on.
