After a helpful web guru called us up from our post, we were able to diagnose what's happening here (donation to be announced later): Regardless of the Timeout and set_time_limit() settings, most browsers will time out at 60 seconds. This is obviously a huge annoyance. Therefore I am offering a *second* charity prize to any person who can give me code (PHP or Perl) which will display a "Processing" screen with an auto-reload to keep the browser interested while waiting 60 to 120 seconds for a database response in the background. *Someone* must have done this already, even though multi-threading in PHP & Perl is nigh impossible. -Josh Berkus
