Code With Design

Often when working with long php scripts you may need more time then is aloud. Recently when working with lirkr search engine I came across a problem where the server would time me out due to the script taking so long. The reason this was taking so long is because I had to read information from pages and load it into the search engines database word by word and check if the word already exists.

Here is a simple way to change the duration of time a script is aloud to be executed for.

<?php
ini_set(max_execution_time, "300");
?>

Be careful when using this script. If your code lasts longer then a few minutes then chances are the code is not very efficient, you have a infinite loop somewhere or you could just be working with a database that not a lot of people will ever have to use.
