Prevent browser timeout

[regent]

I have a problem with one of my scripts.  Depending on the amount of input, the script can take up to 3 minutes to run, but by then the browser has already timed out.  I've tried:

 

set_time_limit(0);

ini_set("memory_limit","120M");

 

at the beginning of the script, and they didn't help at all.

 

Also tried echoing something in my foreach loop, but that didn't help either.  Any foolproof way to prevent browser timeout?

 

Thanks.

Better code?  If it's taking three minutes to process there must be a better way to do it, even if it means breaking up the overall processing into more than one script.

Oh that reminds me,

 

what about

break the code into parts, and have the code continue from the last part,

 

ie have

$start = $_Get['Start'];

and after every 500 loops it uses header("location: myself?Start=X"); X being the last loop counter

 

if that makes sence!
