lloydlester Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks a lot jaymc, by the way, is there a script (javascript or php) that i can use to display progress of the program, such as display the record number or the item number that it is processing.

tcjohans Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I usually use set_time_limit(max number of seconds). The argument specifies the maximum execution time in seconds. If the argument is 0 you get unlimited execution time.
