Nice! So if I understand correctly I need to: 1- register a shutdown function 2- have this function check if it was called b/c of a conection_timeout() 3- And if so have the function print out my timeout error message So in my script I could put something like this: <?php function timeout_message() { if ( connection_timeout() ) {

    echo "server busy, try again later";

} } register_shutdown_function('timeout_message'); [rest of my script goes here ...] ?> If the script timesout then my error function is called. Is that about right? Jc
