"PHP Timeouts?"

I'm using some code to allow people to upload mp3's to my site. However, when the file size goes above about a meg, I get an error saying that the php has reach the timeout limit of 1200 seconds.

1200 seconds is 20 mins, and there's no way it's been going for 20 mins.

Is there any code I can put in to ignore any timeouts, and just keep going 'til it's done?

Yes, it is.

Cheers for the tip Captain, I'll go trawl through Hotscripts.com again...

:-)

php.ini is normally set to allow a maximum of a 2 meg upload which is what it probably is there, try using a perl script instead

The same timeout error?

Cheers Turbo, but I've tried that, and the code I'm using gives me an error though....

set_time_limit(0)

I've found out a bit more. In the php.ini file withing the minixampp folder, is this line:

max_execution_time = 1200 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds


Hovever, that's 20 mins, and it goes for about 2 or 3 mins before giving me the error. So I've lost 17 minutes somewhere...

That code has a file size limit, but the one I'm testing at home as one of 5MB, so it's not that.

I've also allowed .mp3 extensions on my test one as well.

Post the code, minus the ftp details, of course. Could be a restriction imposed by the server.
