daydreamer Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have a script that logs into a website, sometimes it takes longer than 30 seconds to execute. When this happens I get the error Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded How do I run the script, and if it is running for longer than 30 seconds redirect/run another script? I have looked at the function set_time_limit (), but it has no redirect. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKWelding Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Set your set_time_limit() to something like 45 seconds. Have a HTML meta refresh set up for 30 seconds on your page that redirects to whatever the next page is you want to run a script from.

discomatt Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Set your set_time_limit() to something like 45 seconds. Have a HTML meta refresh set up for 30 seconds on your page that redirects to whatever the next page is you want to run a script from. If you want to do this, you have to flush the output buffer. Look up the flush() function ( User contrib is great, as there are some special measures you have to take in order for it to work with all browsers ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daydreamer Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 why can i not just echo the meta refresh before the code executes? so if it takes to long itll get redirected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomatt Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Read into flush() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
