Name

set_time_limit — Sets the maximum script execution time.

Synopsis

Specifies how long the script can run, in seconds. A useful function for avoiding infinite loops or connection timeouts to sockets or databases. The default time limit is 30 seconds or the value of max_execution_time() , which can be specified in the PHP initialization file. A zero (0) value means that the script will not time out at all.

<?php
// script dies after 60 secs
set_time_limit(60);
?>
