Hi,
Running into an interesting problem where a time-intensive, php command line
script times-out occasionally. This particular script can sometimes take
over and hour to complete and it does a ton of interaction with our
postgreSQL database. The exact error message is the following:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in dbbind.php
on line 17
Line 17 of dbbind.php looks like this:
$t=pg_fieldtype($rs,$col);
I was under the impression that cli php has no timeout, so I'm assuming this
is something with postgreSQL. However, I've been unable to locate any
references to default 300 second time limits with postgreSQL, or php. Is
there any way I can extend this timeout? Or any hints on figuring out why
it's happening in the first place? I would think pg_fieldtype() would return
fairly quickly?

Many thanks in advance,
