PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: set_time_out() and max_execution_time description is not clear
documentation is not clear enough on what "excecution time"
the max_execution_parameter does limit.
try the following:
<?php
set_time_limit(1);
while(1) sleep(1);
?>
on my machine that runs much more then one second, while:
<?php
set_time_limit(1);
while(1);
?>
stops after 1 second as expected.
That difference is never mentioned in documentaion.
While the usage of PROF timer make sence sometimes the parameter name "max_execution_time"
suggests the "real" time limit so that
<?php
set_time_limit(30);
sleep(3600);
?>
should be terminated on timeout after 30 seconds.
