[php] How to solve a timeout error in Laravel 5

I have the following set up:

In routes I have:

Route::get('articles', 'ArticlesController@index');

The index method in the controller is simply:

public function index()
{
   $articles = Article::all();
   return View('articles.index', compact('articles'));
}

and in the view:

@extends('../app')
@section('content')
<h1>Articles</h1>
<p>
    @foreach($articles as $article)
    <article>
        <h2><a href="{{action('ArticlesController@show', [$article->id])}}">{{$article->title}}</a></h2>
        <p>{{ $article->body }}</p>
    </article>
    @endforeach
</p>
@stop

I attempted to replace the:

$articles = Article::all();

with

$article = Article::latest()->get();

such that I can actually show the articles latest first. I got the error:

FatalErrorException in Str.php line 322:
Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

and the call stack is:

in Str.php line 322
at FatalErrorException->__construct() in HandleExceptions.php line 131
at HandleExceptions->fatalExceptionFromError() in HandleExceptions.php line 116
at HandleExceptions->handleShutdown() in HandleExceptions.php line 0

at Router->controllers() in Facade.php line 210
at Facade::__callStatic() in routes.php line 21
at Route::controllers() in routes.php line 21
in RouteServiceProvider.php line 40

... etc

I have restored the controller method to what it was, but the error persists.

Can you please tell me how I can solve this problem?

You need to just press CTRL + F5. It will work after that.

I had a similar problem just now. However, this had nothing to do with modifying the php.ini file. It was from a for loop. If you are having nested for loops, make sure you are using the iterator properly. In my case, I was iterating the outer iterator from my inner iterator.

In Laravel:

Add set_time_limit(0) line on top of query.

set_time_limit(0);

$users = App\User::all();

It helps you in different large queries but you should need to improve query optimise.

Add above query

ini_set("memory_limit", "10056M");

it's a pure PHP setting. The alternative is to increase the execution time limit only for specific php scripts, by inserting on top of that php file, the following:

ini_set('max_execution_time', 180); //3 minutes

If using PHP7, I would suggest you changing the default value in the public/.htaccess

<IfModule php7_module>
   ...
   php_value max_execution_time 300
   ...
</IfModule>

try

ini_set('max_execution_time', $time);
$articles = Article::all();

where $time is in seconds, set it to 0 for no time. make sure to make it 60 back after your function finish

set time limit in __construct method or you can set in your index controller also where you want to have large time limit.

public function __construct()
{
    set_time_limit(8000000);
}

Execution is not related to laravel go to the php.ini file In php.ini file set max_execution_time=360 (time may be variable depends on need) if you want to increase execution of a specific page then write ini_set('max_execution_time',360) at top of page

otherwise in htaccess php_value max_execution_time 360

php_value upload_max_filesize 400M
php_value max_execution_time 300 #esta es la linea que necesitas agregar.

If you are hosting your Laravel app on Heroku, you can create custom_php.ini in the root of your project and simply add max_execution_time = 60

Sometimes you just need to optimize your code or query, Setting more max_execution_time is not a solution.

It is not suggested to take more than 30 for loading a webpage if a task takes more time need to be a queue.
