Hello,

Running latest xampp.
I installed a link script and im importing links into its database.
The import list can be big....

so now i get:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 500 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\links\data\mysqli.php on line 17

My settings are in php.ini:


max_execution_time = 1200 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 600 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (16MB)


A bit high....i know..

but why do i get this error ..?,as i didnt expected it...

hello, yes i did edited the correct php.ini file..,and if the script itself has a limit somewhere then i dont know about it....but that would be weird...huh?
I checked my settings and it shows :max_execution_time 600
so im confused....i have that set to 1200 , so why the 600 ?

Which settings are you checking?

i mean the settings in \xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

What php.ini file does it say you are using in the phpinfo() file display that you link to from the XAMPP Welcome page at http://localhost?

What it says is: Loaded Configuration File C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

If you set 1200 in the correct php.ini file and you don't have another php.ini file somewhere, then that figure of 1200 should be displayed in the phpinfo() file.

But still it shows: max_execution_time 600

Have you more than one instance of php on your PC?

NO..i only have xampp installed,nothing more

Have you ever had another server or another program that used it's own php on your PC, apart from the one that comes with XAMPP that is?

NO

Do you have another php.ini file, perhaps in your Windows directory?

Does this help ?

Well you dont have to get rude...
I gave you an answer to all your questions as i quoted them...
sure i cleaned cache of my browser...

And whats weird is that ive set the max execution time to 100 , and even after cleaning etc.....it still shows 600.

forgive me to ask a stupid question:
did you restart your web server after changing your php.ini?

lol....
yes i did...several times.....cleaned browser cache.....everything...

and now it actualy shows 1200
1 day later...

but still get ..

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 500 seconds exceeded

this realy sucks.

Execution time may be set by php.ini, but may be overridden by .htaccess file (per folder) and/or by any script on execution.

You should show us:

1) A full output of what "phpinfo" says.
2) A full source code of the script which causes the error
3) A full listing of the directory which holds the script (i.e. "ls -la" in Linux shell)
4) A full source code of .htaccess (if there is any)

well i found the problem ..
as i was importing i never thought or atleast expected that they would put a mx time in there.
as i did a search with filelocator with the key "500" i received some results and one of them was the importer.
ive set that to 1 hour...
and import worked..
but files are only getting bigger..
largest one is 11mb , so i guess setting it to 2 or 3 hours should do the trick i hope..

Simply set it to 0 - that means in no limit for execution. From http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

The maximum execution time, in seconds. If set to zero, no time limit is imposed.

pma is not the best tool to import large dumps.
try the console or (if that's not an option)
http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php or
http://mysqldumper.de/en/

p.s.
the pma devels are working on speeding up imports,
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=377408
you could try the latest pma 3.0 from svn "trunk" or a snapshot
