How to remove CURL time limit in PHP?

Question

I am running a rather long script that fetches the contents of a specified domain and parses the html before running a series of tests on said html. Anyway the script times out after a while. I tried putting this at the top of my page but still no luck:

set_time_limit(0);

Here is the error in question:

cURL error number:28
cURL error:Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 316183 out of 6476018 bytes received

Answer 1

You need to set the amount of time curl gets to complete its operations with curl_setopt.

The CURLOPT_TIMEOUT setting to be specific.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 400); // the timeout in seconds
