PHP timeout

I have a script that reads in a dir and makes thumbnails for them. The problem that I am having is that when processing more than 35 images the script gives a timeout error because it is taking longer than 30seconds to process the photos... anyone have a workaround? Like to temporarily set the timeout to like 3 minutes.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.s ... -limit.php

from that page :


void set_time_limit (int seconds)

Set the number of seconds a script is allowed to run. If this is reached, the script returns a fatal error. The default limit is 30 seconds or, if it exists, the max_execution_time value defined in the configuration file. If seconds is set to zero, no time limit is imposed

I would have found it sooner but the search engine at php.net doesn't seem to be working..

You may want to download the PHP manual, the .CHM version is an excellent quick reference with searching capabilities..
