Is it possible to prolong the 30 sec execution time of script?

[GoodWill]

I have function that open page on remote server, get the source, then make sumcheck of the page and compare it with the data in database to see, if the page was changed. So, the script looks working, but get timeout after 30 seconds on server. I have to check about 100 pages.

$fp = fsockopen ($domain, 80); 
if(!$fp) {
    echo $i." Unable to open\n".$url[$i]."<br>";
} else {
fputs($fp,"GET $url[$i] HTTP/1.0\n\n");
$start = time();
socket_set_timeout($fp, 2);
$content = fread($fp, 2000);
FClose ($fp);}
$getcrc = crc32 ("$contents");
if ($getcrc < 0) {$crc2=$getcrc*(-1);}
else{$crc2=$getcrc;}



if ($crc2=$crc[$i]){
$result=mysql_query("update page set ok='1' where crc=$crc[$i]");}
else {
$result=mysql_query("update page set ok='0' where crc=$crc[$i]");
}

Check your webserver configuration for the timeout. I think the default for Apache is 30 seconds and you should be able to set it to whatever you want.

I'm not sure though, if and how long the client browser will wait until it timeouts automagically.

Use the "ini_set"-function to alter the "max_execution_time" for just that one script:

ini_set("max_execution_time", 90)

... or edit the "php.ini"-file for permanent solution!
