Why Are My `ini_set` and `set_time_limit` Calls Being Ignored in PHP?

PHP Runtime Configuration Issue: ini_set and set_time_limit Ignored

Problem:

When attempting to set max_execution_time using ini_set() or set_time_limit(), the changes are ignored on certain servers, resulting in the default value of 30.

Answer:

In safe mode, PHP restricts the ability to modify certain configuration settings, including max_execution_time. As per the PHP manual, "You can not change this setting with ini_set() when running in safe mode." The same restriction applies to set_time_limit().

Solution:

There are two possible solutions:

• Disable Safe Mode: Disable safe mode either in the server configuration or in the php.ini file.
• Modify php.ini: Manually edit the php.ini file and set max_execution_time to the desired value. This must be done on the server where the code is running.
