How do you keep from timing out for long

website transactions? Hi all. I've working on http://www.picturesoffood.org
about pictures of food. Yummy! Anyway, I upload all the files using FTP,
but then I use php to process them, either the server times out or maybe
the server runs out of memory space for my account. I'm using shared
webhosting. Anyway, is there a way to keep the connection alive while the
code processes the files. It's just a simple for loop and I call php's
image processing functions to process them. But I don't know how to keep
the connection alive. Thank you in advance for any help.

Unless you can change the amount of time allowed and/or max memory (not
in a good shared host!), the only thing you can do is upload fewer (i.e.
one) at a time.
