I am trying to run a PHP script which sends ~1500 emails. It's a simple email script, in a look, calling the mail() function.

mail($mailto, $subject, $body);

Naturally the script times out after 30 seconds, and the error message "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded" appears. 

I changed the script timeout to 10 minutes (600 secs) in PHP.INI but after ~3 minutes of the script running it times out again, this time reporting the error: 

"The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing."

The script only manages to send ~700 emails out before the CGI timeout error message appeared, which stopped the process.

Any way to stop this timing out? It seems max_execution_time in PHP.INI doesn't [completely] work.

Regards,
Richard Gebbie

I meant to write "in a loop", not "in a look".

I don't think this is a bug in PHP, but it's a setting in IIS.

And? Did you guys figure out what setting it might be in IIS leading to this CGI timeout?

I have the same problem with the file upload...
