Answer 1

Probably your page exeeded the max execution time. Put following code on top of page and try:
ini_set("memory_limit","128M");
//ini_set("memory_limit","256M");
//this sets it unlimited
ini_set("max_execution_time",0);

Answer 2

Add this on the top of your PHP Script
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
