set_time_limit — Azami çalıştırma süresini sınırlar
Bir betiğin çalıştırılabileceği süreyi saniye cinsinden belirler. Bu süre
aşıldığında betik ölümcül hata ile döner. php.ini dosyasında
max_execution_time yönergesi ile başka bir değer
belirtilmemişse öntanımlı süre 30 saniyedir.
set_time_limit() işlevi çağrıldığı anda
süre sıfırdan başlatılır. Başka bir deyişle, betik örneğin 30 saniyelik
öntanımlı zaman aşımı dahilinde 25 saniye çalıştıktan sonra
set_time_limit(20) çağrısı yapılırsa süre bitiminde
betik 45 saniye çalışmış olacaktır.
saniyeBetiğin çalıştırılabileceği azami süre (saniye cinsinden). Sıfır belirtilirse bir zaman sınırlaması kaldırılmış olur.
Bilginize:
max_execution_time yönergesi veya set_time_limit() işlevi sadece betiğin kendi çalışma süresini etkilerler. Betiğin çalışması sırasında, akım işlemleri, veritabanı sorguları ve system() işlevi kullanılarak yapılan sistem çağrıları gibi betiğin dışında gerçekleşen işlemler için harcanan zaman betiğin azami çalışma süresinin hesaplanmasında hesaba katılmaz. Gerçek zamanın ölçüldüğü Windows üzerinde bu geçerli değildir.
while setting the set_time_limit(), the duration of sleep() will be ignored in the execution time. The following illustrates:
<?php
set_time_limit(20);
while ($i<=10)
{
echo "i=$i ";
sleep(100);
$i++;
}
?>
Output:
i=0 i=1 i=2 i=3 i=4 i=5 i=6 i=7 i=8 i=9 i=10Both set_time_limit(...) and ini_set('max_execution_time',...); won't count the time cost of sleep,file_get_contents,shell_exec,mysql_query etc, so i build this function my_background_exec(), to run static method/function in background/detached process and time is out kill it:

?>You can do set_time_limit(0); so that the script will run forever - however this is not recommended and your web server might catch you out with an imposed HTTP timeout (usually around 5 minutes).
You should check your web server's guides for more information about HTTP timeouts.
JonathonI was having trouble with script timeouts in applications where the user prompted long running background actions. I wrote this cURL/CLI background script that solved the problem when making requests from HTTP.

Use at your own risk. No warranties expressed or implied.
Include this file at the top of any script to run it in the background
with no time limitations ... e.g., include('background_cli.php');
The script that calls this file should not return output to the browser.

?>Documentation states:
When called, set_time_limit() restarts the timeout counter from zero. In other words, if the timeout is the default 30 seconds, and 25 seconds into script execution a call such as set_time_limit(20) is made, the script will run for a total of 45 seconds before timing out.
If I have a long running script and i want a exact time limit, I set this as near as possible to the first line.You may also need to look at Apache's timeout setting (Win32 version for me), I changed max execution time value in php.ini, and still got stopped by Apache's timeout value in the httpd.conf file.In IIS, there is another global timeout setting which will override any PHP settings. You can alter this timeout by following the following instructions:
http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=7set_tme_limit resets the execution time count.
test code1:
<?php
echo '<html><body>';
set_time_limit(1);
$i = 0;
while(++$i < 100000001){
if($i % 100000 == 0){
echo $i / 100000, "<br/>\n";
}
}
echo "done.<br/>\n";
// will not echo 'done.'.
?>
test code2:
<?php
echo '<html><body>';
set_time_limit(1);
$i = 0;
while(++$i < 100000001){
if($i % 100000 == 0){
set_time_limit(1);
echo $i / 100000, "<br/>\n";
}
}
echo "done.<br/>\n";
// will echo 'done.'
?>To find out the currently set time limit, use
<?php
ini_get('max_execution_time');
?>
If set_time_limit has been previously called in the script, the result will be the value which was passed to set_time_limit (and not, as the function name "ini_get" appears to suggest, the value from the php.ini file).this work to fine html streaming AND time pass limit
<?php
header('Content-type: text/plain');
echo date("H:m:s"), "\n";
set_time_limit(30);
for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++)
{
echo date("H:m:s"),"\n";
for ($r = 0; $r < 100000; $r++){
$X.= tan(M_LNPI+log(ceil( date("s")*M_PI*M_LNPI+100)));
}
ob_flush();
flush();
}
echo "work! $x";
?>If you are streaming large data from database, it is counted towards the max exec time.When you are working with IIS, PHP timeout is valid only when it's lower than script timeout defined by IIS.
IIS 5 has a default timeout of 300 seconds. If you need a higher timeout, you also have to change IIS properties. Otherwise, your server will stop your PHP script before it reaches its own timeout.One thing that I wish I had found sooner is, if you're using php-cli and really need to limit the executation time, and if you're in *nix, you can use "timeout" which is part of coreutils.
For example:
timeout 5 /usr/bin/php -q /path/to/script
and it will kill it if it takes longer than 5 seconds.
I had a few quick php scripts I wrote for use with cacti for example.if you want to check how much time remains, this should work (at least on Windows, on non-Windows platforms, i'm not sure)
$seconds_remaining_until_termination = ini_get('max_execution_time') === "0" ? null : ((int)ini_get('max_execution_time'))-(microtime(true)-$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT']);
gives you number of seconds until the script will be terminated due to the time limit. (tested on Windows 7 X64 SP1 with PHP 7.3.7) - or gives you null if there is no time limit.If you would like to calculatue the wall time of your script (includes all external DB/HTTP calls etc.) in Unix (in Windows this is already default behavior), you could use the following function:
<?php
$timeoutInSeconds = 3;
// This will make sure this is always called async
pcntl_async_signals(1);
// Second parameter is any callable (https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php)
pcntl_signal(SIGALRM, function() {
exit('Stop it!');
});
pcntl_alarm($timeoutInSeconds);
?>
