Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

Question

I am downloading a JSON file from an online source and and when it runs through the loop I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time

Answer 1

Your loop might be endless. If it is not, you could extend the maximum execution time like this:

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes

and

set_time_limit(300);

can be used to temporarily extend the time limit.
