How to increase transaction timeout? I want to upload videos, but large size of videos not uploaded?
It throws error The process *** exceeded the timeout of 60 seconds.
You need to change some settings in your php.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 2M
;or whatever size you want
max_execution_time = 60
; also, higher if you must - sets the maximum time in seconds
Where your PHP.ini is located depends on your system environment. For more information: http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php
You should be able to do during runtime too using
set_time_limit(100);
http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php
or in your vhost-config
php_admin_value max_execution_time 10000
Having a global execution time limit that is LOW is mostly a good idea for performance-reasons on not-so-reliable applications. So you might want to only allow those scripts to run longer that absolutely have to.
p.s.: Dont forget about post_max_size and upload_max_filesize (like the first answer told allready)
To complete the answer of Hannes.
You need to change some setting in your php.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 2M
;or whatever size you want
max_execution_time = 60
; also, higher if you must
If someone want put in unlimited (I don't know why but if you want), you can set the time to 0:
You need to change some setting in your php.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 0
max_execution_time = 0
And if you don't know where is your php.ini. You can do a file "name.php" in your server and put:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
And on your website, you can see the config of your php.ini and it's marked where is it.
Edit on 9 January 2015:
If you can't access your php.ini, you have two more options.
You can set this line directly in your "name.php" file but I don't find for upload_max_filesize for this option:
set_time_limit(0);
Or in ".htaccess"
php_value upload_max_filesize 0
php_value max_execution_time 0
if what you need to do is specific only for 1 or 2 pages i suggest to use set_time_limit so it did not affect the whole application.
set_time_limit(some_values);
but ofcourse these 2 values (post_max_size & upload_max_filesize) are subject to investigate.
you either can set it via ini_set function
ini_set('post_max_size','20M');
ini_set('upload_max_filesize','2M');
or directly in php.ini file like response above by Hannes, or even set it iin .htaccess like below
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value post_max_size 20M
If you happen to be using Microsoft IIS server, in addition to the php.ini settings mentioned by others, you may need to increase the execution timeout settings for the PHP FastCGI application in the IIS Server Manager:
Step 1) Open the IIS Server Manager (usually under Server Manager in the Start Menu, then Tools / Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager).
Step 2) Click on the main connection (not specific to any particular domain).
Step 3) Under the IIS section, find FastCGI Settings (shown below).
Step 4) Therein, right-click the PHP application and select Edit....
Step 5) Check the timeouts (shown below).
In my case, the default timeouts here were 70 and 90 seconds; the former of which was causing a 500 Internal Server Error on PHP scripts that took longer than 70 seconds.
As an addition to above answers, you may use set_time_limit() function:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php
passing 0 as an argument will make your script run with no time limit.
If you cannot edit php.ini (on your server for example) you can attempt to change the php.ini parameters from within your php code. Try:
ini_set('max_execution_time', 'NUMBER OF SECONDS TO ALLOW BEFORE TIMEOUT');
If that doesn't work, try also setting 'set_time_limit' in the same way, beyond that I'd say your only option is to contact your host. These settings cannot be modified while in safe mode.
You had a typo: ini_set('max_input_time','200M') - value set needs to be an int, like ini_set('max_input_time','200')
I know you are specifically asking about the PHP timeout, but what no one else seems to have mentioned is that there can also be a timeout on the webserver and it can look very similar to the PHP timeout.
So if you have tried:
Increasing the timeout in php.ini by adding a line: max_execution_time = {number of seconds i.e. 60 for one minute}
Increasing the timeout in your script itself by adding: ini_set('max_execution_time','{number of seconds i.e. 60 for one minute}');
And you have checked with the phpinfo() function that max_execution_time has indeed be increased, then you might want to try adding this to .htaccess which will make sure Apache itself does not time out:
RewriteRule .* - [E=noabort:1]
RewriteRule .* - [E=noconntimeout:1]
More info here:
https://www.antropy.co.uk/blog/php-script-keeps-timing-out-despite-ini-set/
First check the php.ini file path by phpinfo(); and then changed PHP.INI params:
upload_max_filesize = 1000M
memory_limit = 1500M
post_max_size = 1500M
max_execution_time = 30
restarted Apache
set_time_limit(0); // safe_mode is off
ini_set('max_execution_time', 500); //500 seconds
Note: you can also use command to find php.ini in Linux
locate `php.ini`
Test if you are is safe mode - if not - set the time limit (Local Value) to what you want:
if(!ini_get('safe_mode')){
echo "safe mode off";
set_time_limit(180);// seconds
phpinfo();// see 'max_execution_time'
}
*You cannot set time limit this way if safe mode 'on'.
optional : if you set config about php.ini but still can't upload
-this is php function to check error code
$error_type = [];
$error_type[0] = "There is no error";
$error_type[1] = "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.";
$error_type[2] = "The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.";
$error_type[3] = "The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.";
$error_type[4] = "No file was uploaded.";
//$error_type["5"] = "";
$error_type[6] = "Missing a temporary folder. Introduced in PHP 5.0.3.";
$error_type[7] = "Failed to write file to disk. Introduced in PHP 5.1.0.";
$error_type[8] = "A PHP extension stopped the file upload. PHP does not provide a way to ascertain which extension caused the file upload to stop; examining the list of loaded extensions with phpinfo() may help. Introduced in PHP 5.2.0.";
//------------------------------
//--> show msg error.
$status_code = $_FILES["uploadfile"]["error"];
if($status_code != 0){
echo $error_type[$status_code];
exit;
}
You can also set a max execution time in your .htaccess file:
php_value max_execution_time 180
To really increase the time limit i prefer to first get the current value. set_time_limit is not always increasing the time limit. If the current value (e.g. from php.ini or formerly set) is higher than the value used in current call of set_time_limit, it will decrease the time limit!
So what's with a small helper like this?
/**
* #param int $seconds Time in seconds
* #return bool
*/
function increase_time_limit(int $seconds): bool
{
return set_time_limit(max(
ini_get('max_execution_time'), $seconds
));
}
// somewhere else in your code
increase_time_limit(180);

Why php always give me that error ? I changed php.ini values to :
max_execution_time = 99999 ;
max_input_time = 99999;
max_input_nesting_level = 64;
memory_limit = 256M;
max_input_vars = 10000;
i have created .htaccess file where i put :
php_value max_execution_time 9999
i have located php.ini 50 times to be sure i am at right location.
I have set :
set_time_limit(9999);
at the begining of my php script.
I have restarted MAMP 50 times, even laptop.
If i use phpinfo(); at the begining of my php script i can see both values (local and master) are set to 99999
I changed phpmyadmin conf located in MAMP\bin\phpMyAdmin\libraries\config.default.php to :
// maximum execution time in seconds (0 for no limit)
$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;
But nothing works. Still getting error. Any help is appreciated.
First of all, are you sure you need 300 seconds of execution time? It seems rather impractical to me that a call would take 5 minutes to return an answer. I would recommend looking through your code to make sure there's no infinite loops or the likes anywhere.
Anyways, if your code is working as intended, you should check your php.ini file for another occurrence of max_execution_time which overrides yours, because the default should be at 30 seconds, and not at 300, as far as i know.
Also, you can try adding ini_set('max_execution_time', -1) at the beginning of your code. This drops the maximum execution time entirely.
I tried adding the following in .htaccess file
php_value max_execution_time 0
Any help is appreciated
Try this
Just put it below < ?php before any output
ini_set('max_execution_time', 9000); //300 seconds = 5 minutes
Inside the php file you're executing
You can use ini_set, or set_time_limit() to set this value:
ini_set('max_execution_time', 600) // set execution time to 600 seconds
set_time_limit(600)
Note:
- You can not change this value if PHP is running under safe mode
- The time will be started after this setting. Meaning after the setting is set, the time is start from 0.
I am getting this error while running one script.
I know it's about execution time and i had went through all answers too but i want to display custom message when this error occurs so that site doesn't break.
How to handle that error as i have kept error display off on my live site so footer is not loaded due to this error which stops breaking my site?

When you visit this site its displaying custom error message
You can either increase the maximum execution time by using set_time_limit() or by setting max_execution_time in the php.ini.
Also by setting set_time_limit to 0 you can remove the limit for exceution time.
And if you are using linux you can try with the function register_shutdown_function.This function will be called when the execution time limit is reached.
You can try to add this line of code in the file first:
set_time_limit(0)
You can always modify your php.ini file. There is a setting for maximum execution time.
Another way is to use ini_set function.
Another way is to put the max execution time in your htaccess file.
EDIT:
The max execution time is not an error and therefore not catchable.
Please check out this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6861033/how-to-catch-the-fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-of-30-seconds-exceeded-in-p
Finally, there is always scope of fixing the scripts and putting lengthy processes into a queue.
you can exceed max execution time like this :
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes
change below configuration in php.ini
max_execution_time = 600;
max_input_time = 120;
max_input_nesting_level = 64;
memory_limit = 128M;
ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');
ini_set('max_execution_time', '10000');
at the first line of your php code
I tried to increase the max execution time in my php.ini file. It doesn't work, however. Considering the fact that I' ve got a large file (containing 300 pages) I have to download using PHPEXCEL, I did the following in my php. ini file:
max_execution_time = 999999999
max_input_time = 9999999
max_input_nesting_level = 64
memory_limit = 128M
Is there anyone who knows what to do in this situation?
You can use 0 :
max_execution_time = 0
That will disabled the limitation. Don't forget to restart apache after.
You can also user the PHP version :
<?php set_time_limit(0); ?>
If you don't want a limit, then you can use this:
set_time_limit(0);
But only if safe_mode is off, otherwise you can use ini_set:
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // 300 Seconds
Thanks.
On some of my php scripts that take long time to run I always use the following code at the top:
set_time_limit(0);
ignore_user_abort(1);
Explanation:
set_time_limit(0);
We're telling php the script can run for unlimited time.
ignore_user_abort(1);
We're telling php to continue running the script even if the user disconnects.
i.e.: closing the browser or disconnect from a SSH session.
