Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] chiPHPug-discuss Digest, Vol 28, Issue 4

[Sean M. <nh...@gm...>]

One thing that you all seem to be forgetting is that max_execution_time only
measures time spent in PHP. Calls to outside libraries, exec(), etc... are
not included. I'm not entirely sure if cURL is qualified as an outside
library or not, but I think that's something that warrants testing before
you start cranking up the max_execution_time. It's entirely possible that
cURL is excluded from that timeout and the change would have no effect.
