max_execution_time

[Sandro]

Hello,
I'm not a costumer yet.

I read that your max_execution_time on shared servers are set to 30 seconds. Does this setting afflict the upload time? If so I guess it's impossible to reach even 2MB with a normal adsl 320kbit upload connection.

Is that correct?

If you are doing uploads that would could exceed any of the three restraints on PHP/Form uploads, then yes, it would.

You may use Java uploads that are not restricted or ftp as well.

What about the set_time_limit() function ?
We are allowed to use that, right ?

Description

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 php.ini.


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.

is it possible?

I modify that as needed in php.ini. I am on a reseller account, so I am not sure if shared accounts have the same ability; I suspect they do.
