Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
