I have an XML document that has around 48,000 children (~50MB). I run an INSERT MYSQL query that makes new entries for each one of these children. The problem is that it takes a lot of time due to its size. After it is executed I receive this
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /path/test.php on line 18
How do I set the Maximum execution time to be unlimited?
You can make it by setting set_time_limit in you php code (set to 0 for no limit)
set_time_limit(0);
Or modifying the value of max_execution_time directly in your php.ini
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
; http://php.net/max-execution-time
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to 0 for the CLI SAPI
max_execution_time = 120
Or changing it with ini_set()
ini_set('max_execution_time', 120); //120 seconds
but note that for this 3rd option :
max_execution_time
You can not change this setting with ini_set() when running in safe
mode. The only workaround is to turn off safe mode or by changing the
time limit in the php.ini.

Put this at the top of your script:
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);
That'll make it 5 minutes.
You can use the ini_set at the start of your application.
ini_set('max_execution_time', *number of seconds here*); //300 seconds = 5 minutes
You can Set maximum execution time in MYSQL / PHP. it's so easy.
To set maximum execution time in single PHP file, place this code just after your first opening php tag.
ini_set(‘max_execution_time’, 0)
To set maximum execution time in php.ini file. You can set as per your require.
max_execution_time=360 //360 seconds = 6 minutes
To set maximum execution time in htaccess file.
php_value max_execution_time 0
You can also read step by step here.
maximum execution time for Apache Web Server is 300 seconds (5 min), so if your script is very long you have to options
your script can be executed on most 5 minutes
open php.ini file and chanage
max_execution_time = (seconds) for example to max_execution_time = 300
2.if you scripts need mor than 5 minutes you should first change Httpd.conf file (Apache config file)
TimeOut (number of seconds you want)
and also in php.ini max_execution_time = (number of seconds you want)
I am using PHP that gets so many data from several sites and write those data to the server which make files greater than 500 MB, but the process fails in between giving a 500 INTERNAL ERROR, how to adjust the timeout time of the php so that the process runs till it is completed.
If you want to increase the maximum execution time for your scripts, then just change the value of the following setting in your php.ini file-
max_execution_time = 60
If you want more memory for your scripts, then change this-
memory_limit = 128M
One more thing, if you keep on processing the input(GET or POST), then you need to increase this as well-
max_input_time = 60
you have to set some settings in the php.ini to solve this problem.
There are some options which could be the problem.
Could you pls post your php.ini config?
Which kind of webserver do you use?Apache?
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.
I am downloading a JSON file from an online source and and when it runs through the loop I am getting this error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\temp\fetch.php on line 24
Your loop might be endless. If it is not, you could extend the maximum execution time like this:
ini_set('max_execution_time', '300'); //300 seconds = 5 minutes
and
set_time_limit(300);
can be used to temporarily extend the time limit.
I had the same problem and solved it by changing the value for the param max_execution_time in php.ini, like this:
max_execution_time = 360 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds (I CHANGED THIS VALUE)
max_input_time = 120 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
;max_input_nesting_level = 64 ; Maximum input variable nesting level
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB by default)
I hope this could help you.
All the answers above are correct, but I use a simple way to avoid it in some cases.
Just put this command in the begining of your script:
set_time_limit(0);
I ran into this problem while upgrading to WordPress 4.0. By default WordPress limits the maximum execution time to 30 seconds.
Add the following code to your .htaccess file on your root directory of your WordPress Installation to over-ride the default.
php_value max_execution_time 300 //where 300 = 300 seconds = 5 minutes
Edit php.ini
Find this line:
max_execution_time
Change its value to 300:
max_execution_time = 300
300 means 5 minutes of execution time for the http request.
Your script is timing out. Take a look at the set_time_limit() function to up the execution time. Or profile the script to make it run faster :)
if all the above didn't work for you then add an .htaccess file to the directory where your script is located and put this inside
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value post_max_size 200M
php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
php_value memory_limit 300M
php_value max_execution_time 259200
php_value max_input_time 259200
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1200
</IfModule>
this was the way I solved my problem , neither ini_set('max_execution_time', 86400); nor set_time_limit(86400) solved my problem , but the .htaccess method did.
We can solve this problem in 3 different ways.
1) Using php.ini file
2) Using .htaccess file
3) Using Wp-config.php file ( for Wordpress )
You can remove the restriction by seting it to zero by adding this line at the top of your script:
<?php ini_set('max_execution_time', '0'); ?>
Follow the path /etc/php5(your php version)/apache2/php.ini.
Open it and set the value of max_execution_time to a desired one.
To extend your max_execution_time you can use either ini_set or set_time_limit.
// Set maximum execution time to 10 seconds this way
ini_set('max_execution_time', 10);
// or this way
set_time_limit(10);
!! But be aware that, both functions restarts also counting of time script has already taken to execute
sleep(2);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 5);
register_shutdown_function(function(){
var_dump(microtime(true) - $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT']);
});
for(;;);
//
// var_dump outputs float(7.1981489658356)
//
so if you want to set exact maximum amount of time script can run, your command must be very first.
Differences between those two functions are
set_time_limit does not return info whether it was successful but it will throw a warning on error.
ini_set returns old value on success, or false on failure without any warning/error
Maybe check for any thing that you have changed under the php.ini file.
For example I changed the ";intl.default_locale =" to ";intl.default_locale = en_utf8" in order to enable the "Internationalization extension (Intl)" without adding the "extension=php_intl.dll" then this same error occurred. So I suggest to check for similar mistakes.
Increase your script execution time by adding the following line at top of the PHP script.
ini_set('max_execution_time', 120); //120 seconds = 2 minutes
Reference has taken from Increase the PHP Script Execution Time
You can do it easily with WHM. Just got to:
WHM -> Service Configuration -> PHP configuration
editor-> max_execution_time=30
( 30 is default change it to whatever value u want)
set_time_limit($time_in_second); // 0 for unlimited time
I use this php function in run time if need to run a script for long.
Details here.
I have same problem in WordPress site,
I added in .htaccess file then working fine for me.
php_value max_execution_time 6000000
I have make some changes in my case in: xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries\config.default.php
i have searched for : $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] and change the value at right side...
You can change Right hand Value to any higher value, like '5000'. and it works.
I don't have acess to php.ini in my server. I want to change the maximum execution time so that my script can runs for more than 30 seconds.
is there any way i can do that on the start of my script?
use ini_set
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // this will set max_execution time for 300 seconds
write this line at start of your code in php file.
OR
use this by Hanky Panky ㇱ
set_time_limit(300);
