#24780 [NEW]: max_execution_time interferes with large POST file uploads
From: mikeb414 at earthlink dot net
Operating system: Windows XP
PHP version: 4.3.1
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: max_execution_time interferes with large POST file uploads
Description:
------------
SHORT VERSION:
I suggest that either setting the time limit to 0 in php.ini results in no
time limit, or that the time it takes for an HTTP POST file upload to be
transferred not be counted in script execution time.
I have seen others with similar bugs, such as bug #18579 which was marked
cannot reproduce, but it still seems to be an issue.
LONG VERSION:
I have found it impossible to defeat the max_execution_time limit with
scripts that process uploaded files. I was told that setting
max_execution_time to 0 in php.ini would allow scripts to run for an
unlimited time, but in practice, when the file has completed uploading php
just gives me a Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 0 seconds
exceeded.
I can't use functions like set_time_limit or ini_set either because php
waits for the file to complete uploading before processing the first line
of the script. Therefore I request a change such as one of the suggestions
above be considered.
