Increase max execution time for php

Question

I have added set_time_limit(0); function to increase execution time but its executing only 2-3 minutes maximum.

error_reporting(E_ALL); error_reporting(1); set_time_limit(0); 

I want to search links from a site which is taking a long time.

Answer 1

PHP file (for example, my_lengthy_script.php)

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes 

.htaccess file

<IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value max_execution_time 300 </IfModule> 

More configuration options

<IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value post_max_size 5M php_value upload_max_filesize 5M php_value memory_limit 128M php_value max_execution_time 300 php_value max_input_time 300 php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1200 </IfModule> 

If wordpress, set this in the config.php file,

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M'); 

If drupal, sites/default/settings.php

ini_set('memory_limit', '128M'); 

If you are using other frameworks,

ini_set('memory_limit', '128M'); 

You can increase memory as gigabyte.

ini_set('memory_limit', '3G'); // 3 Gigabytes 

259200 means:-

( 259200/(60x60 minutes) ) / 24 hours ===> 3 Days

Add these lines of code in your htaccess file. I hope it will solve your problem.

<IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value max_execution_time 259200 </IfModule>
