Re: Make set_time_limit() timeout a catchable fatal error

Although it doesn't let you recover from a timeout, you could use register_shutdown_function to gracefully exit after a fatal error. register_shutdown_function(function(){ $error = error_get_last(); if($error && $error['type'] === E_ERROR){ echo 'PHAIL! Oh noes, something went wrong!'; // do whatever else you need to do before quitting } }); Cheers, David On 08/03/11 22:39, Pierre Joye wrote: > hi, > > is not the goal of this setting to prevent that a script runs longer > than a given time?
