Get max_execution_time in PHP script

Question

I know it is possible to set the maximum execution time in a script using either:

ini_set(\'max_execution_time\', 30);

or

set_t         


        

Answer 1

The converse, using ini_get:

ini_get('max_execution_time'); 

Note: if you check the documentation page for ini_set, you can find ini_get listed prominently on the "See Also" section. That's a very good way to discover functionality built into PHP that you are not already aware of.

Answer 2

you can try

$max_time = ini_get("max_execution_time");
echo $max_time;

and you can use this variable the way you want to :)

Answer 3

There are some inaccurate points in the comments. So to clarify:

1. set_time_limit(30) is the same as ini_set('max_execution_time', 30);
2. Both of them reset the counter.
3. ini_get('max_execution_time') works for both cases - set_time_limit and ini_set.

Answer 4

try this:

ini_get('max_execution_time')
