Retarded timeout issue

[utahcon]

I am working for a client that has a server with a timeout. Roughly 1 min I think.

Anyways I am trying to load a lot of information in the database but the damn server keeps timing out on my PHP script and causing a CANNOT DISPLAY PAGE bs screen.

I tried using

header('Location mysite.com')

with an offset to my database queries to it would just keep running through the code.

The offset part works, but it didnt evade the timeout.

Is there anyway other than stopping the file and requiring a click to continue to process?

BTW - the ISP will not change the timeout.

You could try ini_set()

and set the timeout of scripts to whatever is needed.
