Problem with set_time_limit() and uploading large files

Hi, I am having a major problem getting set_time_limit() to work at all with PHP 4.2.3 running as a CGI program under IIS for Windows 2000 (I originally posted this message to php-win, but am hoping someone here can shed some light on this). I have a form that accepts large files for upload, with the following lines at the top of the form action script: <?php // let this script take as long as it needs to complete its work // and ignore if user hits stops button in his browser set_time_limit(0); ignore_user_abort(true); // include site-wide configs and other include files require_once('../includes/site.php'); ... If the file upload takes longer than 30 seconds, PHP bombs out with the following error: "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\InetPub\test.php on line 3" I've also tried adding: ini_set('max_execution_time', 60000); before the set_time_limit() function, but to no avail. PHP is not running in safe mode. Does anyone have any ideas why this is not working as expected? I'm sure it's something obvious, but I don't know what it is.
