PHP time limit ?

You can set time limit to infinite etc but mine always stops after 5 minutes ! Test [PHP]<?php ini_set('max_execution_time', 0); set_time_limit(0); $FileName = "abc.txt"; $FileHandle = fopen($FileName, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $i= 0; while($i<100) { $today = date("g:i a"); fwrite($FileHandle, $today); sleep(60);…

Test
[PHP]<?php
ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);
set_time_limit(0);

$FileName = "abc.txt";
$FileHandle = fopen($FileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");

$i= 0;

while($i<100)
{
$today = date("g:i a");
fwrite($FileHandle, $today);
sleep(60);
$i++;
}

fclose($FileHandle);
?>[/PHP]

Result
2:21 pm 2:22 pm 2:23 pm 2:24 pm 2:25 pm 2:26 pm

= 5 minutes !

Your webserver might force a timeout after 5 mins.

Yeah it's most likely your server making it time out.

IIS has an inbuilt limit of 5 minutes which you can't override. A similar can be (and probably is) set in Apache.

Yeah the default Apache time limit is 300 seconds.

Which I guess translates to 5 minutes!
