Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] cURL problem

Yes.

But this is my own script running on my own machine, while I watch it.  Or at least watch it until I'm sure it's running right.
I'm scraping some directories, so there's nested lookups &c., and some of them really are taking 5 or 10 minutes or more on my cheesy little machine and cheesy little "fast" internet connection.

Nervous Nellie that I am, my script now starts

echo 'original max_execution_time = ' . ini_get('max_execution_time') . "<br />\n";
ini_set('max_execution_time', 1200);
echo 'reset max_execution_time = ' . ini_get('max_execution_time') . "<br />\n<br />\n";
