long process and timeout

Some of my code has a long process, and my ISP limits the scripts to 30
seconds.

Now, I must absolutely create a file with some string (simply a number and
an email), then process any line with some long operations.
If the script timeouts, then calling the script again should start when it
finished.

How to achieve that ?

I tough about deleting the last line every time it's processed and then the
process is done when the file is empty.
There is also the possibility to create a tracker file where I save the last
processed number, but it's longer to do.

Any tip ?

Did you try to overrule that setting with ini_set?
You can use it at the start of your script and set another value for the
script timeout.

Try that first, if just might work.

or, if you are allowed to use .htaccess files, put one in the folder
that your long running script is in. Try this, it works great for me:

# php_value name value
php_value post_max_size 666M
php_value upload_max_file size 10M
php_value max_execution_t ime 16666

I have a script that does a huge database update, which takes a long time. However, the host I am running on (and I suspect most hosts) are running in "safe mode." This means I cannot change the maximum execution time of scripts. So, the script stops right in the middle of doing the update. On top of that, I am trying to make code that I can distribute to others. As of now, the only way that this script can be run is with sys admin...

Okay I have a website where the user is going to hit a button to kick off a process that is going to take a long amount of time. Is there anyway without using AJAX, or possibly a windows control on a page that connects to a webservice to show the user the progress of this operation. It seems almost a given that I must use either ajax or some kind of control to do this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. So far I have come up...

I have a web app that gathers live data from network pc's and then displays it to the client. It worked fine until I was asked to allow the user to select multiple pc's for display. Now, depending on how many pc's are selected, can take above 10 minutes to return the results. This causes clients to timeout if the user selects too many pc's. How can I set the client timeout property so that it will wait longer before assuming the web page...

Basically, how would I immediately end a function that is taking too long to respond? --

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
