I usually use set time limit 30  within the main loop  so each loop iteration is limited to 30 seconds rather than the whole script    I do this in multiple database update scripts  which routinely take several minutes to complete but less than a second for each iteration - keeping the 30 second limit means the script won t get stuck in an infinite loop if I am stupid enough to create one    I must admit that my choice of 30 seconds for the limit is somewhat arbitrary - my scripts could actually get away with 2 seconds instead  but I feel more comfortable with 30 seconds given the actual application - of course you could use whatever value you feel is suitable   Hope this helps

This is an old thread  but I thought I would post this link  as it helped me quite a bit on this issue  Essentially what it s saying is the server configuration can override the php config  From the article      For example mod fastcgi has an option called  -idle-timeout  which controls the idle time of the script  So if the script does not output anything to the fastcgi handler for that many seconds then fastcgi would terminate it  The setup is somewhat like this    Apache  lt - gt  mod fastcgi  lt - gt  php processes   The article has other examples and further explanation  Hope this helps somebody else

Checkout this  This is from PHP MANUAL  This may help you   If you re using PHP CLI SAPI and getting error  Maximum execution time of N seconds exceeded  where N is an integer value  try to call set time limit 0  every M seconds or every iteration  For example    lt  php  require once  db php      stmt    db- gt query  sql    while   row    stmt- gt fetchRow          set time limit 0          your code here      gt
