Description
void set_time_limit (int seconds)
Set the number of seconds a script is allowed to run. If this is
reached, the script returns a fatal error. The default limit is
30 seconds or, if it exists, the max_execution_time value defined
in the configuration
file. If seconds is set to zero, no time limit is
imposed.
When called, set_time_limit() restarts the
timeout counter from zero. In other words, if the timeout is the
default 30 seconds, and 25 seconds into script execution a call
such as set_time_limit(20) is made, the script will run for a
total of 45 seconds before timing out.
Note that set_time_limit() has no effect when
PHP is running in safe mode. There is no workaround other than
turning off safe mode or changing the time limit in the configuration file.
