Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] cURL problem

You really should fork-exec that long running process and then poll a 
results page or something, rather than upping max_execution_time.

If there is a good reason for this process to run longer than a couple 
seconds, then I would get it out of the way of browser interaction.
