Detecting a timeout for a block of code in PHP

Question

Is there a way you can abort a block of code if it\'s taking too long in PHP? Perhaps something like:

//Set the max time to 2 seconds
$time = new TimeOut(2);
$ti         


        

Answer 1

You can also use a 2nd script that has the pause code in it that is executed via a curl call with a timeout set. The other obvious solution is to fix the cause of the pause.
