no, that shouldn't affect it - ignore_user_abort() keeps the script going
even if the user aborts (I'm assuming you already knew that...) so the only
thing that I can think of that's keeping the script going it the while loop
- check the exit condition to make sure it does actually end...

I should also mention that the loop is sending mail using mail().

Is it possible that this is the problem somehow?

your first thought was correct - it sets it to 1800, it's NOT
accumulative.

it would have something to do with  ignore_user_abort(true); and also
is your while loop's exit check working?

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,
