max_execution_time¶
The max_execution_time directive sets the maximum amount of time that PHP will work on an application.
The default value is 30 seconds. It may be lowered down to 1 second, or set to infinity with -1.
max_execution_time may be changed from the code with set_time_limit(). This function may also be disabled, and not available.
It is recommended to set this value as low as possible, and optimize the code to run below that limit.
