Description:
------------
On windows vista, with apache 2.2.11, php 5.3.0 vc9 threadsafe, the max_execution_time ini parameter is read correctly (as shown by ini_get() and phpinfo()) but never used.
After 60 secs, the script times out with the message
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded".

Adding a set_time_limit() or ini_set() call solves the problem.

And what's the value set in php.ini?

max_execution_time=300 in php.ini (using apache sapi btw)

Your php.ini isn't loaded. Use phpinfo() output to figure out which one is actually used. No bug here.

Thanks for the tip, but I would not have opened the issue without checking first phpinfo().
As stated in the initial report, even ini_get('max_execution_time') reports the value of 300

here's the script to reproduce the test:
<pre>
<?php

echo 'timeout: '.ini_get('max_execution_time')."\n";
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
{
  echo $i.'. ';
  sleep(1);
  flush();
  ob_flush();
}
?>
and here follows the output:

timeout: 300
0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59.

ps: tested with the vc6 executable instead of the vc9 and it still stops at 60 secs...)
