Re: Setting execution time for a loop

// Ok, I have a loop: for ($i = $Date; $i >= $sDate; $i--) // Somthing like this is inside the loop: if ($Exists) echo "Something here."; else $sDate--; I have it check if it exists, if it doesn't, then it reduces $sDate by 1. $sDate is initially 3 to 31 days less than $Date. By reducing $sDate by 1, it keeps looking, what if there are no more? It keeps going until I reach 30 seconds, how can I set a time limit? I have it on: http://zavaboy.jimbug.org/phptest/blog.php Go to May 14, 2003 wait 30 seconds for the page to load and you'll see what I mean. I don't want it to last 30 seconds and a error, I want 3 seconds max and no error.
