PHP 5.1.3 and up uses the max_input_time php.ini setting for the maximum execution time of a script. It should you the max_execution_time setting.

The same problems can be reproduced on linux platform with php 5.1.3 CLI and this break all scripts who work with the CLI version that have a main loop.

I have a similar problem too.
However, what I've found is not *exactly* the case described here.

I have many CLI scripts which I use with the PHP-CLI (Linux).
Most of them work fine, however one script that does the indexing of lots of documents fails after a few *minutes* with the error message:

"Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded."

My php-cli.ini settings are as follows:

max_execution_time => 0 => 60
max_input_time => 30 => 30

Since only one of my scripts fails with that message afer running for *MORE* than 30 or 60 seconds and other scripts (PHP-CLI based daemons) run fine 24/7, I can see three issues here:

1) It is very likely to do with the *max input time*, not max execution time.

2) The error message is wrong. I believe it should be "Maximum input time of 30 seconds exceeded"

3) Even if input time is more than the limit, it should not break a script run under PHP-CLI.

OK. After additional testing I must take back some of my comments above. It looks like the original poster was correct :)

1) max_input_time value becomes max_execution_time
2) CLI SAPI which normally should ignore max_execution_time breaks scripts with the error messages about execution time.

NOTE: setting max_input_time and max_execution_time to "0" in php-cli.ini fixes the problem but I still believe this is a bug which must be fixed ASAP.

Fixed in CVS HEAD, PHP_5_2 and PHP_5_1.
