How can I stop my PHP script timing out?


If you are running a script that takes a long time, for instance it is doing a repetitive act several times or simply involves a lot of number crunching or similar, then there are times where your script may time out.

First you should consider whether a script that takes more than 30 seconds to run is suitable for a web server, but if there is a special instance where it is, or indeed if you are running PHP on your local server / machine, then you can adjust this with the following setting:

<?php
set_time_limit
(500);//increase time out to 500 seconds
?>
