Die/exit/close script execution after 10 seconds ?

[just_m3.]

i need such code to force php script execution to close after 10 seconds
got some bugy php class for gif resize and on some' of them it keeps you waiting 'till maxim execution time is exceeded
x_X don't tell me to set maxim execution time to 10 seconds because my server ignore settings like ini_set or php.ini ... .htaccess

it is possible to make such function based on session or something ?

please share some thots here . tnx ya '.

set_time_limit(10); 

Does it work?

Added after 3 minutes:

or something like this:

$start = time();
for(;;){
    if((time()-$start)>=10) exit("FINITO!");
}

FINITO! hell ya !

Tnx a lot ..

or something like this:

$start = time();
for(;;){
    if((time()-$start)>=10) exit("FINITO!");
} 

Will this cause execution time always to be 10 seconds? (infinitive loop)

well you have to place your code into the loop, it depends on what type of code you place inside it, for example if you try to convert a big video file (conversion time of which is much longer than 10 seconds) this will not work, but if you for example want to grab multiple files or do some multiple short similar processes this will work.

yup already done that :p , it works , but i've got to make some mods there , anyway tnx for the idea ! , and yeah the code must be in the loop .. .

[something else]

so something onlines of:

$loadgif = false;
$start = time(); 
for(;;){  // for loop has to be above the loadgif function or it wont get executed? ... or will this cause loadgif not to be executed?
    if((time()-$start)>=10) exit("FINITO!"); 
    if($loadgif!=false) break;
} 

$loadgif = loadgif();

[GumSlone]

only this will work

$loadgif = false;
$start = time(); 
for(;;){
    $loadgif = loadgif();
    if((time()-$start)>=10) exit("FINITO!"); 
    if($loadgif!=false) break;
}
