does it mean that I have to use set_time_limit so the script doesn't time out ? I don't really understand why I should do that.
You may be reaching an IIS imposed time limit instead of a PHP one. 
Usually the PHP error is different (but I use ISAPI instead of CGI).

[PHP] CGI timeout problem

[imran]

hello,

I wrote a very simple upload script and it perfectly works for small files. But if the 
file is too huge (I tried with 8Mbytes), my browser displays:
"
The page cannot be displayed
...
Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer 
"

instead of uploading the file and submitting the form to my "upload.php" file. I set 
my upload_max_size to 10MB both in php.ini and in my form. And my web server is 
running under IIS 5.

here is one of my user feedback:
"
CGI Timeout

The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing.
The server has deleted the process.
"

does it mean that I have to use set_time_limit so the script doesn't time out ? I 
don't really understand why I should do that.

thanks,
