If the host doesn’t allow you to override the execution time setting then your only choice is to get a new host. But, on shared hosting they will almost always set certain limits to prevent one single customer from hogging all the server resources.

Interesting post. For a couple of solutions of the original problem (exceeding execution time), use set_time_limit() function or change php.ini configuration file. You can find out how here: PHP time limit

I have this problem Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 90 seconds exceeded in \\boswinfs04\home\users\web\b2844\whl.kellc\shopping\catalog\model\tool\image.php on line 4
, and I looked at php.ini setting below.

magic_quotes_gpc = Off;
register_globals = Off;
default_charset = UTF-8;
memory_limit = 64M;
max_execution_time = 18000;
upload_max_filesize = 999M;
safe_mode = Off;
mysql.connect_timeout = 20;
session.use_cookies = On;
session.use_trans_sid = Off;
session.gc_maxlifetime = 12000000;
allow_url_fopen = on;

I am little confused but it seems I need to add like this below.

magic_quotes_gpc = Off;
register_globals = Off;
default_charset = UTF-8;
memory_limit = 64M;
max_execution_time = 18000;
max_input_time = 18000;
upload_max_filesize = 999M;
safe_mode = Off;
mysql.connect_timeout = 20;
session.use_cookies = On;
session.use_trans_sid = Off;
session.gc_maxlifetime = 12000000;
allow_url_fopen = on;

So is 18000 is better or should be less? I saw it Nelesh mentioned set_time_limit(0), sorry I am still learning on this part.

you can also fix this problem by adding following code:

set_time_limit(60);
it is built in function.
