set_time_limit (int seconds);
from the manual:
When called, set_time_limit() restarts the timeout counter from zero. In
other words, if the timeout is the default 30 seconds, and 25 seconds into
script execution a call such as set_time_limit(20) is made, the script will
run for a total of 45 seconds before timing out.
Note that set_time_limit() has no effect when PHP is running in safe mode.
There is no workaround other than turning off safe mode or changing the
time limit in the configuration file.
