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

Here is my way to do that. Thanks to others answers:

 self::$timeout) {
         throw new \RuntimeException($error ?? 'You code took too much time.');
      }
   }

   public static function step()
   : void
   {
      usleep(1);
   }
}

Then you can try like this:

  getMessage(); // 'You code is heavy. Sorry.'
  }
