<simpara>
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
<literal>max_execution_time</literal> value defined in the <link
linkend="ini.max-execution-time">configuration file</link>. If
seconds is set to zero, no time limit is imposed.
</simpara>
<simpara>
When called, <function>set_time_limit</function> 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.
</simpara>
<simpara>
<function>set_time_limit</function> has no effect when PHP is
running in safe mode. There is no workaround other than turning
off safe mode or changing the time limit in the <link
linkend="ini.max-execution-time">configuration file</link>.
</simpara>
<note>
<para>
The <function>set_time_limit</function> function and the
configuration directive <link
linkend="ini.max-execution-time">max_execution_time</link> 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 <function>system</function>, the
<function>sleep</function> function, database queries, etc. is
not included when determining the maximum time that the script
has been running.
