Timeout

[zyad]

I'm receiving a timeout error when uploading files that are 300 k.
I've checked my php.ini and I can upload a max of 2 M.

I've also used a set_time_limit(20*60), but I still get the error, and safe mode is turned off in my php.ini.
However, when I change it directly in my php.ini everything is ok, but I don't want to do this.

Here's my code

if ($FILES['userfile'] AND $FILES['userfile'] != "none")
{
set_time_limit(20*60);
$total=0;
$handle=opendir($dir);
move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp
name'], $dir."/".$_FILES['userfile']['name']);
}

I don't know much about what you are doing, but it seems if you knew how to get the connection status and the time left you could write a script like

while ( connection_status == NORMAL ) {
if ( time_left < 5seconds )
void set_time_limit ( 20 );
}

I just hope you know how to get the connection status and the seconds left.

The problem is tha the function set time limit itself is not working.
The page still expires in 30 secs, even if I set it more than that in my code !!!

try

<?
$timelimit = "60"; //time in seconds
ini_set(max_execution_time, $timelimit);
?>

What duey posted should work for you. The trouble you were running into is that the php.ini max execution time is too low for your script, the second line in his code is setting it a bit higher for you.

I changed the max_execution_time directly in my php.ini and set it to 60 secs and everything is ok

I try
<?
$timelimit = "60"; //time in seconds
ini_set(max_execution_time, $timelimit);
?>

and I still get a timeout
