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

I made a script in php using pcntl_fork and lockfile to control the execution of external calls doing the kill after the timeout.
