PHP Time Limit

PHP Time Limit

The maximum time in seconds that PhpGedView should be allowed to run a single operation. The default is 1 minute. Depending on the size of your GEDCOM file, you may need to increase this time limit when you need to build the indexes. Set this value to 0 to allow PHP to run forever.

CAUTION: Setting this to 0 or setting it too high could cause your site to hang on certain operating systems until the script finishes. Setting it to 0 means it may never finish until a server administrator kills the process or restarts the server. A large Pedigree chart can take a very long time to run; leaving this value as low as possible ensures that someone cannot crash your server by requesting an excessively large chart.
