Intermittent problem. Page terminates unexpectedly but without error

[colville]

I have a wierd intermittent problem with one of my php websites. On certain pages occasionally the whole page is not returned to the browser. It just cuts off after an arbitary length. No error messages are reported by either PHP or Apache. I have placed debugging comments at the end of the script and it appears that the script is completing normally. All database queries are executed and the script terminates without error. This problem only appears to have begun two days ago. No changes have been made to the script or server configuration. The error occurs for both IE and Firefox.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this error might be? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Many thanks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld colville,

hard to say without additional information.

Have you been able to isolate it at all?
how big is the page in question?
have you tried removing parts of the page in order to better define whether it is a specific function/part that is causing the problem?
Have you been able to define whether it is a php or apache issue?

not sure what else to look at, is it possible that there is an unhandled error in your php somewhere so it is dying silently?
