[snip] I am trying to figure out why a script that is set to time out after 30 seconds will run indefinitely. For example, .... As you can see, this script ran for over 14 minutes. I have read that max_execution_time is bound to CPU time, and I am not sure how this translates into being able to effectively use this parameter. Comments / insight extremely appreciated. [/snip] Are you running PHP in safe mode? If so set_time_limit() has no effect. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
