Re: Run a script for 20minutes

Don't run it from the browser - just grab the php.exe and invoke the script thusly: php.exe script.php from the command line. Make sure you have set_time_limit(0) in there at the top. To make sure its progressing as expected, put in some sort of progress indicator - ie, if you're processing 1,000,000 lines, you don't want to print every line, so just do something like doLoop { ... if ($ct % 1000 == 0) print "$ct ... "; $ct++; } to print an indicator every 1,000 lines. If its breaking anywhere, this will also help you track down where its breaking. --dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin E.
