Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

Question

I am downloading a JSON file from an online source and and when it runs through the loop I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time

Answer 1

Increase your script execution time by adding the following line at top of the PHP script.

ini_set('max_execution_time', 120); //120 seconds = 2 minutes

Reference has taken from Increase the PHP Script Execution Time

Answer 2

Your loop might be endless. If it is not, you could extend the maximum execution time like this:

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes

and

set_time_limit(300);

can be used to temporarily extend the time limit.

Answer 3

You can do it easily with WHM. Just got to:

WHM -> Service Configuration -> PHP configuration

editor-> max_execution_time=30

( 30 is default change it to whatever value u want)

Answer 4

Maybe check for any thing that you have changed under the php.ini file. For example I changed the ";intl.default_locale =" to ";intl.default_locale = en_utf8" in order to enable the "Internationalization extension (Intl)" without adding the "extension=php_intl.dll" then this same error occurred. So I suggest to check for similar mistakes.
