In Codeignitor version 3 0 x the system core Codeigniter php do not contain the time constraint as well as inserting   ini set  MAX EXECUTION TIME   -1       will not work since codeignitor will override that with its own function set time limit      So either you have to delete that function from codeignitor or simply you can insert  set time limit  1000      in the beginning of the php file if you wanna change that to 1000 seconds  Set the time to 0  zero  if you want to run it as long as it want

I encountered a similar situation  and it turns out that Codeigniter  the PHP framework I was using  actually sets its own time limit   In system core Codeigniter php  line 106 in version 2 1 3 the following appears   if  function exists  set time limit      TRUE AND  ini get  safe mode      0         set time limit 300       As there was no other way to avoid changing the core file  I removed it so as to allow configuration through php ini  as well as give the infinite maximum execution time for a CLI request   I recommend recording this change somewhere in the case of future CI version upgrades however

If above answers will not work  try to check your code  In my experience having an infinite loop will also cause that problem Check your else if statement

On Xampp  in php ini you must check mysql connect timeout either  So  for example  change it to   mysql connect timeout   3600   That time will be always counted in seconds  so 1 hour in my example

PHP s CLI s default execution time is infinite      This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run   before it is terminated by the parser  This helps prevent poorly   written scripts from tying up the server  The default setting is 30    When running PHP from the command line the default setting is 0    http   gr php net manual en info configuration php ini max-execution-time  Check if you re running PHP in safe mode  because it ignores all time exec settings when on that
