Hi, I have a problem. On a small lan I need to process a table with about 30000 records. The work is to apply a formula to some fields of each record and update another field of the same table. I run php on a win2000 professional system and the first approach was to make a for cycle in which I apply the formula to all records and echo the result of the formula, just to show that the work is going on. But I get into a timeout of the system after 30 seconds Which is the right approach to this type of work, let's call it batch work? Thank you Antonio Bernabei
