set_time_limit
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
set_time_limit — Limits the maximum execution time
Description
function set_time_limit(
int $seconds):
bool
When called, set_time_limit() restarts the timeout
counter from zero. In other words, if the timeout is the default 30
seconds, and 25 seconds into script execution a call such as
set_time_limit(20) is made, the script will run for a
total of 45 seconds before timing out.
Parameters
seconds-
The maximum execution time, in seconds. If set to zero, no time limit
is imposed.
Return Values
Returns true on success, or false on failure.
Notes
Note:
The set_time_limit() function and the configuration
directive max_execution_time
only affect the execution time of the script itself. Any time spent on
activity that happens outside the execution of the script such as system
calls using system(), stream operations, database
queries, etc. is not included when determining the maximum time that the
script has been running.
This is not true on Windows where the measured time is real.
