Hi all > http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php will allow you to > set the timeout This only works if safe mode is off. If you have a couple of queries in one script you can divide them up on different pages. Put a redirect at the end of the query. On the new page the execution time starts new. Normally it is set to 30 seconds in the php.ini file. Or have a look on the function ini_set() string ini_set (string varname, string newvalue) (I have never tested this function;-) Greetings Conni
