How do I use ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);?
Question 1: Do I place it at the top of the .PHP file or in a function that takes a long time to do something?
Question 2: Does this setting last forever after being set? Or does it return back to its original 300sec or whatever default value after the function stops running?

max_execution_time int. This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The default setting is 30 . When running PHP from the command line the default setting is 0 .
Syntax: set_time_limit ( int $seconds ) Return Value: Boolean ( True or False ) Default value:30 seconds. For the maximum or you can say for the infinite execution time, we can set the function with the 0 value. If the value is 0 then it will run for an infinite time.
You can place it anywhere, but that setting won't take effect until it runs. So if you put it at the top, then the script will never timeout. If you put it down below on the function that can take awhile, then you may get a timeout above if the script takes a long time to get to where you called it.
When you use ini_set() that option stays in effect for the entire execution of the script.
