Max execution time.

Anon

I am having a script in PHP that gives the Fatal Error as :

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 sec exceeded ........

I then applied the PHP function set_time_limit and tried to overwrite the execution time (from 30 sec to 120 sec) . Now it simply tries to excute the script for about 4-5 mins and then displays the standard error page of IE as :

The page cannot be displayed

[Basically now it is not even giving me any error or warning from PHP script ]

Now I fail to understand how do I run this script.

Please help. Thanks in advance !!!

Use this code before any other in the script:

set_time_limit(0);

That will make the script last until it is finished, not caring for how many seconds it lasts

will this solve the problem that another gentleman just asked, he had mass e-mail to send out to a huge e-mail subscribers list, and doesn't want to see the page time out error too?

Hi Flipis ,
Thanks for the reply but I have tried setting the time limit to zero ( no time limit) but the same effect. It gives me the standard error page of IE as :

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

what do i do ????
