<?
function testtimeout() {
// when connection_status is 2 it means
// shutdown is due to timeout
if(connection_status() == 2) {
echo "Script timeout";
}
}

register_shutdown_function("testtimeout");

set_time_limit(2);

function &get_connection()
{
$conn = mssql_connect "testserver", "sa",
"jacmin");
return $conn;
}
$conn= get_connection();
?>

When i run this program i am getting the following error...

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 2 seconds exceeded in D:\KHB\tset.php on line 15

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 2 seconds exceeded in D:\KHB\tset.php on line 4

Where as i am supposed to get the output as
"Script timeout"

Well the manual says:

void set_time_limit ( int seconds)

Set the number of seconds a script is allowed to run. If this is reached, the script returns a fatal error.

I dont see the problem here. You are setting the time_limit (maximum lifetime of the script) to 2. Then it will give you a fatal error at the 2 sec mark.
