You're right <sads (self-administered dope slap)>, my task is really not

going to use the PHP command line interface to run it without web

sometimes involve long run times depending on the parameters supplied by
the user (an example might be a SQL execution page where the
user-supplied query could range from simple to very complex). I'd still
like to know how to communicate via PHP that I want an infinite timeout
for a particular web page..
lets start by saying that any webpage script that takes that long to
run is
shit by design.

As I said, have you tried outputting a constant stream of invisible HTML
such as '<b></b>'? Spit one of those out every second or so and the
browser might be happy. You'd have to do the query asynchronously,
though, since you'd need to output the tags while it was executing.
