Just wondering about set_time_limit() in a loop. The current code looks something like this: <? ignore_user_abort(true); set_time_limit(1800); while: do stuff; set_time_limit(1800); endwhile; ?> Does this reset the timeout to 1800 seconds every time it loops? Or does it accumulate so that the timeout has 1800 seconds added to it every time? The reason I ask is that my ISP informs me that the script is still running 13 hours later! Or is this related to the ignore_user_abort? Regards, Matthew Delmarter
