PHP timesout while updating database

[davidklonski]

Hello

I have a PHP script which reads a SQL file which contains many INSERT statements.
The script iterates through all the statements are executes them.
For some reason, PHP times-out after a while during the execution, before reaching the end of the script.

Is there a timeout configuration that I need to set in order to allow it to run indefinitely (at least until the script finishes executing)?

thanks in advance

yes, in the php. ini file look for

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

set the time to what ever you need

it can also be set at run time by using [man]ini_set[/man]
