PHP scripting timing out after 60 seconds
<p>Im currently writing a php script which accesses a csv file on a remote server, processes the data then writes data to the local MySQL database. Because there is so much data to process and insert into the database (50,000 lines), the script takes longer than 60 seconds to run. The problem I have is, the script times out after 60 seconds.</p>

<p>To make sure its not a MySQL issue, i created another script that enters an infinite loop, and it too times out at 60 seconds.</p>

<p>I have tried increasing/changing the following settings on the Ubuntu server but it <strong>hasn't</strong> helped:
max_execution_time
max_input_time
mysql.connect_timeout
default_socket_timeout
the TimeOut value in the apache2.conf file.</p>

<p>Could it possibly be an issue because i'm accessing the PHP file from a web browser? Do web browsers have time out limits?</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
