running long scripts

[rakennedy75]

I am using a loop statement to pull info from a database and when it finds an image that exists it will execute various funcitons. Some of the functions are moving the files, image resize, etc.

The problem is that if there are large images or a lot of images, the browser will timeout. Is there another more efficient way of doing this?

I hope this makes sense. I can't use cron jobs because the guy that does the server functionality set it up so you can't do this.

Any ideas on how to get around the server timeing out would be a lot of help.

Thanks for your time.

Have you tried [man]set_time_limit/man; ?

I will try that out, that might do the trick, at least until I find another option. I will have to check to see if I am in safe mode first but thanks for the idea.
