PHP Max Exection Timeout Notification

Is it possible to get Max Execution timeout notification so that i can use code clean up operations before the php script stops running?

Basically, i am trying to create a script that can do some changes/modificatio开发者_C百科ns to my database which has huge data pile. Also, this php script execution can be paused/resumed using a filelock.

You can either use set_error_handler() or register_shutdown_function().

Edit: See also: max execution time error handling

If you set 0 to set_time_limit, it will never stop :)

You can increase the limit time inside your code using:

set_time_limit(300); //time in seconds
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes

or

changing the max_execution_time parameter inside your php.ini.

The default time is 30 seconds.
