php script just stops even with set_time_limit(0)

Question

I have looked at like 10 other posts with people who seem to have the same problem as me in, most suggest putting set_time_limit(0);. But even with that no matter what script I run, always after around 9-10 minutes it just stops.

I have tried so many combinations of the below 3 variables, setting them to -1, 0, 9999999; just always stops. It was not so long ago, I had the exact same script below run over night. And just one day I have this problem with any script.

I’m 100% sure it’s stopping before its finished, and it’s not stopping due to error. Because any of my scripts now stop at the same app run time.

Extremely frustrated, any help will be much appreciated.

In php.ini:

max_input_time = -1
max_execution_time = 0
set_time_limit = 0

Another scripts: (also stops after 10 minutes)

set_time_limit(0);

EDIT: No matter what script I run, or how simple it always stops after about 10 minutes. So I doubt it’s anything to do with the code in my script. So I'll add that my web server I’m running scripts on, is on Bluehost.

Answer 1

The answer is its a limitation bluehost has set to my account. Heres the response he gave me:

...
The Dedicated IP (+$3.33 per month) will increase the limits on the account.


    The following it the limits on how the server will kill processes with and without the Dedicated IP on the account: 

                                    With a Dedicated IP         Without Dedicated IP
Apache/Web (HTML/PHP/Downloads)     12 hours                    10 minutes
...
