Hi Ashley,
No, I set the time limit high enough (set_time_limit(2*HOUR+8*MINUTE);), and
the execution stops a long time before the time limit is reached.
It might be relevent that the web application is hosted on a Windows
Machine.
I asked myself, would setting the parameter "memory_limit" of the php.ini
file to a higher value help? Actually it is set to 128M. But I actually
don't have problems with creating a zip archive of about 250M (~80 folders),
it actually occurs with 3 times bigger archives.
Best Regards,
Bastien
