Hey folks,
does anyone know if it's possible to extend the server-timeout through php(4)? We have a code, that has to resolve a couple of DB-Queries and exceeds the given time.
Haven't found a way yet - doesn't even know, if it's possible at all.

thx in advance for quick help

yes it is, but not in the script(s) - you have to edit the configuration file ( usually called php.ini ). look for the
"max_execution_time" option; this sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to take before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tieing up the server.

if you also do some db access in our script your problem could lie with the MySQL configuration - it is also possible to set the max. exec time for MySQL queries so perhaps you will also have to change these settings
