Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

I am using the Konqueror browser and browing to http://localhost/my.php Howerver, the script I wrote, doing various queries and lookups, inserts, etc...... takes a while to complete. That is fine with me. I'll wait. However, the server and/or browser will not wait. I believe the server is the one which will not wait because I have one "echo" line at the beginning of the script which put a title "Udate Students" athe the top center of the page and that writes then there is a pause while the queries are run and then I get the following error in my browser Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/html/student_info/ps2follett.php on line 139 Can anyone help? -- Michael Cortes Fort LeBoeuf School District 34 East Ninth Street PO Box 810 Waterford PA 16441-0810 814.796.4795
