#16636 [Com]: The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing.

ID: 16636 Comment by: walter at cybermight dot com Reported By: rich at safenames dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: And? Did you guys figure out what setting it might be in IIS leading to this CGI timeout? I have the same problem with the file upload... see bug# 29982 at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29982 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-16 12:03:43] sander@php.net I don't think this is a bug in PHP, but it's a setting in IIS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-16 11:51:30] rich at safenames dot net I meant to write "in a loop", not "in a look". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-16 11:48:48] rich at safenames dot net I am trying to run a PHP script which sends ~1500 emails. It's a simple email script, in a look, calling the mail() function. mail($mailto, $subject, $body); Naturally the script times out after 30 seconds, and the error message "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded" appears. I changed the script timeout to 10 minutes (600 secs) in PHP.INI but after ~3 minutes of the script running it times out again, this time reporting the error: "The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing." The script only manages to send ~700 emails out before the CGI timeout error message appeared, which stopped the process. Any way to stop this timing out? It seems max_execution_time in PHP.INI doesn't [completely] work.
