Browser Server Timeout - Help!

[Amphibian]

I am doing intensive data manuplulation via Mysql queries in a few pages.

Apache timeout set to 30000 sec's. PHP max execution time also set to 30000 sec's and using a set_time_limit 30000 sec's in the pages. Running Linux Suse 8.0.

The browser however still times out in about 30 sec's. The process completes the inserts but the browser returns error

"An error occurred while loading http://localhost/<name>.php:
Timeout on Server
localhost"

I need the page not to timeout to able a user to complete futher steps and interaction via the php page.

How do I fix this?

use this function in front of your script:

void set_time_limit ( int seconds)

ex:
<?

set_time_limit(300);

//....
// data manipulation
//....
?>
